Sky Encouragement

Hoooooollllllllllllllllllllyyyyyyyyyy

Ssssshhhhhhhiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

iiiiii

iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit

Dare be me, for a moment,

and I promise your world will look different.

You have no such thing as I do.

The courage of my blood you dream of in your wild wiliest wildest dreams and fantasies and imaginings.

I go forth without thought and venture the sky

you hold on deep to your dirt and earth.

'for rocks are safer,' you mutter foolishly and plant your toes into the mud.

sticking to the ground is your raison d'etre,

but the French are pussies and love shallow, sturdy ground.

Find me with the blue and the light and the sky

and the dream you always have and the dare you never practice.

I wake up many times a day and see your slumber fantasies in sunlight.

It does not take reckless to destroy more

because wrecks happen on ground as well.

But for once set your arms to soar

and try the purpose in your heart.

Im not saying we were meant to fly

(because we all know that we all fall)

but our stomachs are meant to drop

and throats are supposed to be choked

and hearts must stop

try it up here instead.
