Wanderlust

Tonight I stand over this ledge,
way above the ground.
My intention,
what I've always desired...
To fly
Like a bird
Far far away
Tonight I stand over this ledge,
way above the ground.
Surrounded by blue sky
And blue thoughts
No stars in sight
Tonight I stand over this ledge,
way above the ground.
Off to a place unknown
With hope for freedom
Tonight I stand no more over this ledge,
way above the ground.
I lie on concrete
A pool beneath me
The blue sky above
A quiet mind
The last hum of life in my body
I'm free
At last.
