Swimming With the Clouds
She had an epiphany
she wants to learn to fly.
Took a sip of coffee
from her favorite cup
she knew then the time
was to go up.
Into the clouds
swimming with the clouds.
She wants to fly
touch the sky.
She don't want sympathy
she doesn't plan to die.
Lifts off the ledge
looking up
tumbling in the wind
like a Dixie Cup.
Into the clouds
swimming with the clouds.
She wants to fly
reach the sky.
She's flying in the air
where she lands
we do not dare to tell.
She's gripped in satori
she's learned how to fly.
She's skyclad now
among the stars
way up there
somewhere far.
She's swimming now
out among the clouds.
