Falling

I am bouncing on a cloud
I am a soaring bird
I am swaying in the wind
Nightmare overcomes
The wind is a whip
The bird falls from the sky
The cloud turns to rain
I am the rain
Falling, falling
Falling
This is now my life
Falling
Longing to again be the cloud
A part of something
Falling
Never ending thoughts
The pain of hitting the earth
The ground
Excruitiating?
Relieving.
Back up I go
I am bouncing on a cloud
I am a soaring bird
I am swaying in the wind
