I look down through the clouds
I see the snow covered tips of the Rockies
As far as my eyes can see a world of nothingness
Its uncomplicated beauty
A place to focus all the nervous energy
The angry doubts float into the ever passing clouds
I can breathe up here
Far away from the troubles of yesterday, or the worries of tomorrow
Centered and balanced
A calmness amongst the strangers
All wrapped up in their own thoughts and lives
They don’t even notice the clarity looming out their windows
Blinded by themselves, unaware of what lies ahead
I focus on my demons, dancing on the wings
Knowing their time is ending
Getting suffocated by the sun
Smiling to myself I take a final look around
The moments I had of clarity up among clouds
As descent starts and we break through the clouds
All the demons gasp for dirty air
And come flooding back home.
