Favorite Quote:
"Rage, Rage Against the Dying of the Light." -Dylan Thomas


I breathe easy when the water replaces all
And the ground floats up above my head,
Leaving my heart feel small.
The light around me tastes like sunbeams
And the song it sings tears my soul to shreds.

My breath leaves me
And my eyes shut so slowly
My heart is at peace
As I learn to fly.

All that I am and all that I will be
Is because I learned to love
Unconditionally.
The dark is not as harsh as the light
I sing softly as it holds me tight.

My breath leaves me
And my eyes shut so slowly
My heart is at peace
As I learn to fly.

With our song in my head
And the last words you said
I take to the sky
as I learn how to fly.

I fly…
