Within the Clouds

By Preacher X

On the ground I softly lay,
Allowing my mind to sit at bay.
In my head the images fly,
Of the clouds passing by.

As I rest on the ground,
I feel my body spin around.
Into the air I softly glide,
As I fly into the sky.

In the sky, I see in my eye,
A light which I had not seen in flight.
Soon I realize I am wearing shrouds,
For I had died within the clouds.
