Reach For The Sky
If we could put our head in the clouds,
When our world become too loud,
Could we use this as an escape,
So our ills could evaporate?
If we could stand way back,
Could we cleanse societies plaque,
Clear up the unwanted debris,
Allow our children to play free?
If we could reach for the sky,
Would it dismiss our earthly woes goodbye,
Release us from financial cuffs,
So global markets let us pay just enough?
So play in the clouds
Where dreams are allowed,
For if we lose all hope,
This world won't cope
So Reach for the sky
Go on just try !

ReplyDeleteI seem to live most of my waking life in a daydream in the clouds in the sky. Sometimes it's a much kinder, compassionate place to be, too.

Indeed. Reach for the sky. Playing in the clouds sounds pretty good about now too. Nice flow throughout the piece, a gentle nature to it's sway. Very nicely done, thanks for the read
