to the isle of cloud nine - poem

i can't get there yet, 
but i'm on my way soon.
i can't tell you when i'll be there,
but maybe by then, you'll be there, too. 

my heart beats bleakly,
but for you it sings.
my mind is silent,
though for you, it's racing.

i'm scared of change,
and changing, too.
but you've shown me the way,
and that it's alright to do.

where are we going?
who will we become?
will you still be you?
will i still be me?
don't take it in strife,
there's plenty of us both to still be. 

just close your eyes.
feel the clouds wash over you.
at last, the chains come undone,
and we'll finally get back on our feet.

but for now, we're here,
and that's alright.
just know that someday,
we'll run from this cave,
then onto a plane, 
disappearing high into the sky.
