Skyward is my Home

I hold a key
but I don’t know what its for
down this musty corridor
lost on mossy forest floors
I see blackbirds rise behind me
settle in the place between
the dirt and stars aligning
making nests inside my dream
cancel all my day jobs
Im gone for good
this time Im sure
through this heavy wooden door
forward spirit carry me
there is no fanfare needed
skyward is my home
settled in the milky stream
a conscious mind that keeps expanding
take care and wear it well
you look so hard but I can tell
youre eyes are still closed
you wont remember me
not from the inside
but maybe that’s not what you seek
all just a fairy tale
i see icy faces pale
down down down i go
owls are watching
cannot turn the head of sunshine
flowers cannot see me grow
inside like a new life
wrote this letter so you’d know
i saw an opening
there was warmth and light between
it was calling me
misty mountains follow me
cancel all my remedies
lost in scented memories
hungry from the winters freeze
fruit has fallen from the trees
birds still follow
spread and close like time
behind me, like a friend
always there at the end
