Taking life day by day,
have been for a while, now.
How high am I today?
The world is fifty miles down.
Trying to get back there,
or try to keep moving on,
but time is different here,
and life isn’t very long.
Looking at
everything that
I’ve ever loved.
Feeling this
emptiness
around me
and above.
So much space between
creation and decay,
take this life
day by day.
When I get back there,
will I taste the air?
Will it all come back?
Will I understand at last,
what makes the world
so perfect a place?
Will I spend my time
in moments
and not waste it?
Taking it day by day.
