The night

I gaze into the night
Releasing my fear
Succumbing without a fight
Trusting of where it steers

As I drift out of my physical form
My soul soars into the sky
To justify why I was born
Using the stars as my guide

The chilling wind flows free
Catching the wings of the falling birds
Giving them another chance to be
Without feeling tired and worn

Through the winds
Through the clouds
Through the layers
Of cumulus crowds

Higher and higher til the sun rises
Night becomes day and darkness fades
From the distant and shrinking horizon
Here is where I am truly at peace.

Everything is insignificant
As I realize the meaning of life
It's as important as that of an ant
Gazing up to us feeling powerless and weak.

So many powers exist greater than us
So many questions remain unanswered
I will not be weak I will not be cautious
Controlling my passion is completely absurd

As I return to my body I have thoughts in my head
The light fades as the sun sets to reveal a glow
The moon light shows me I am not dead
The path illuminates and my soul trembles again and again

Hold on tight if you want to join my flight
By the moon's light bouncing from star to star,
Catching the tails of those flying in the night
I will take your dreams beyond what you thought was far
