On top of the world…
Looking out, peering down…
Above the snow white clouds…
Like an eagle flying around…
In the crystal blue skies…
Where the Sun’s rays dance…
He’s hanging by a thread…
And his fate is left to chance…
It’s wrapped inside a whisper…
From so very long ago…
He’s not even sure what happened…
On the Earth spinning far below…
Underneath his tired feet…
As his eyes drift in and out…
His thoughts make little sense…
And his mind is full of doubt…
Should he just forget this…
Or take a leap of faith…
And dive into the clouds…
Falling further into disgrace…
Inside an echo of a memory…
Where the clouds reveal her face…
And eyes that mesmerise his soul…
He yearns for her embrace…
Because words are being repeated…
And he’s heard them all before…
In this world where everything has been…
And everything has gone; It is the law…
The law of this Godforsaken planet…
Where we replay others’ mistakes…
Walking in someone else’s shoes…
Swimming in a dead man’s wake…
They aren’t his, they’re Human…
He’s not the first and won’t be the last…
Simply one of the imperfect sinners…
Who never learned from histories past…
Now he’s on top of the world…
Looking out, falling down…
Flying through the cotton wool clouds…
Until he finally hits the ground…

Hello Eye,
I liked the confessional nature of this poem, & enjoyed its soundtrack. Looking forward to reading more from you!
Thank you Musings – Amazing what your mind can conjure up in a jet lagged state at 30,000 or so feet! Hope you find more you enjoy – Cheers J
One of my reasons for adoring your work J (apart from your mind reading skills lol) is that you make me think, you make me stop and evaluate things that are happening around me and this is one of those thought provoking pieces.

Where did it take your mind? Cheers J
Actually this one made me realise that the thoughts, the doubts, the fears of failure that are in my head are the same thoughts that thousands no millions of people have had before and that the only person holding me back is me…guess everyone else will read it differently to me but that’s what I got from it
Hugs

And that’s the beauty of what we do – the way we all read the words on a page – beautiful my friend… Cheers J
True although mine are usually self explanatory lmao 🙂
