At night,
from time to time...
i see myself flying.
Flying so high that I become afraid of the landing that I might have.
Not a landing that i should have
(something safe and sound)
but a landing inside the unknown.
Once I\'ve awakened
and I have my dream state to the appropriate place,
i often just sit and wonder...,
am i prepared to die?
oh hell no, not I..., and why do I fly..,
and when i fly, why so very high?
Why don\'t I ever recall a landing?
When that is of course my greatest fear...,
or have i found the place called
Purgatory?
Why cant i just land..,
On Earth, just once?
I return to this flight in my dreams at night
and all I ever want to do is land,
and I think that I sould just try to remain calm
and while i\'m in flight,
try to just enjoy this ride into my fright.
I am for sure that I love God and that God loves me,
so i should just be able to enjoy a nice flight...,
right?
Then I recall those Footsteps and
how ugly Gods beauty really is..,
and I have to ask myself,
am i prepared to die?
