I’ve been coming down
from so many different clouds.
Waiting for my feet
to touch the ground.
Wonder if there’s anyone around.
Clouds follow me
down to Earth,
shrouding my return
and my rebirth.
Try again.
Anything worth
doing once
is worth overdoing.
Out of the corner of my eye
I catch them moving.
Clouds concealing
everything they’re doing.
Up ahead,
I think things are improving,
as I close my eyes
and imagine the sky.
Sleep a little more.
Be a little bored.
I know this Earth,
I’ve been here before.
I know the fate
life has in store.
Never could have asked
for anything more.
Know the sun will come
to burn off all this haze
and there will be
a better day.
So, for now
I’m just gonna settle
for coming down
out of these clouds
and getting better.
Hope the touchdown
is easy this time.
Hope this time around
I can find
a reason to keep my feet
on the ground.
I already know
there’s no life in the clouds.
