I Feel So Light

tena_01

Down to the earth
I fell with dripping wings
Heavy things won't fly
And the sky might catch on fire
And burn the axis of the world that's why
I prefer a sunless sky
To the glittering and stinging in my eyes
And I feel so light
This is all I want to feel tonight
And I feel so light
Tonight and the rest of my life
Gleaming in the dark sea
I'm as light as air floating there breathlessly
When the dream dissolves
I open up my eyes
I realize that everything
Is a shoreless sea
A weightlessness is passing over me
Everything is waves and stars
The universe is resting in my arms
