Into Thin Air

 

 INTO THIN AIR

The air’s too thick to disappear

Too thin to hold me down

In my lungs it holds me here

Exhaled, I leave the ground

I live my life upon two planes

The first I walk in shoes

Where nothing lost is ever gained

And All I do is lose

The other’s on a higher plane

Not bound by space or time

Loss is never there in vain

Nor even leaves the mind

I’m anything I want to be

And everything I’m not

All I own is all I see

What I want, I’ve got

So, let me breathe and fill my day

With hope like oxygen

And I will shed these shoes of clay

And never want again
