once under the clouds
we made it
once under the clouds
now over them
my feelings
they run
and hop
and jump
and twirl
like raindrops
filled with tears
hiding in the sunrays
they reach my cheeks
and roll down
drowning
in the skin
over my heart
but flapping their wings
nevertheless
into the ocean they go
through the fierce river
of despair
screaming
at the tops of their lungs
“we made it”
and it was like
the clouds knew
that was the purpose
all along
