Looking Down from the Sky
by
Mango Tree
The sun blazes in from outside
It rips through the gentle clouds
The mist accentuates this incandescent blaze
My eyes must turn, I wait
Looking to the side I see the earth below
And, I know that you wait for me down below
Standing in anticipation for me
Shy, excited, eager
And, I wait patiently from the seat
of this airplane
I wait for the wheels to stretch out
From the belly of this airship
To finally land on the gentle soil of Bali
And, I realize that I will never be the same
Ever again,
Once I reach for your hand at the gateway
Of this land
Once I kiss your lips
Embrace your body,
Stand by your side
To complete a burning, alchemic state
of pure, tender, passionate love
no more waiting, just sweet love.
