Bound To A Cloud by ShyHeart

Bound to a cloud, its unfurled and spinning
high into the air, taking me higher and higher
up into the endless, world of despair

Colder and Colder, the surrounding air
feeding my fear, I know my end is near
Tumbling, though gently, flowing, yet
Going no where, except higher and higher

Hallucinations become my thoughts
loved ones, I thought, I had forgot
The warmth of love, I always sought
To late for that, this cloud so cold
is all I've got!

My mind drifts back, to another time
I was a child again, remembered some lines
I had read in the bible,
OH, those were different times!

Eloi, Eloi, Lama Sabachtani
My, god, my god, why have you forsaken me?
Those were the lines, that came to mind
Why do I remember them
especially, now, that I'm about to die?

Then the air began to warm, yet thunder and lighting
as I had never heard before, scared the Hell out of me!
Then a sound, not a voice, just a feeling of a sound
said to me, "this ride you take is free
and now, I send you back,"

"But, the day will come, this ride will not be free
I'll hold you accountable for all you have done"
And back I went to where this cloud had picked me up

I had completed my First "Calvary" Airborne training course
and this was my first jump. They always say, its the first jump
that you never forget and out I went, tumbling,
unfurling, falling fast, then gently, back to a second chance,
this jump, my first, I'll never forget!

Actually, its about parachuting, dieing and living at the same time.
Barb,

My intent was an expression of death & Life being shared at the same ting. Jumping out of a perfectly good plane always seems like a stupid thing to do, but we do it. The first such jump can and has created experiences with the outer world and this lucky sole exposed to what could happen (NDE} if, he doesn't fly right. A message so to speak, getting that second chance.

LinzAy, thank for the Capital G in reat. Appreciate it
