Let me burn up.
Turns out
I’ve been up high
for a long while.
Higher than I’ve ever been.
Not trying to touch the sky,
but trying to be the wind.
I think that maybe
we are made for this.
It only gets easier,
every launch,
every lift.
We can stay up here
forever.
Oh, what a gift!
I can’t believe
I’m alive at a time like this.
Closer to God
than we’ve ever been.
Further from home,
than we’ve ever been.
Maybe it’s the end,
let’s just pretend
this goes on,
and on,
and on,
forever.
