High in the sky

Like the leaf falling from the tree, we all want to get high and fly

Drift away weightless, motionless

To the leaf we look, but for what?

An alternate state to embrace what we feel we need?

Can we not get there from the ground?

The Earth is where we chose to be, why do we try to rise above to where we once came?

Is it not our sense, our purpose, to reach that state with our own beautiful mind?

Creatures of habit, of escape

Looking to the leaf to take us to places we long to venture

Look deep within yourself, know the journey begins within

To take you to any place your heart desires

To give you any feeling your body craves

Watch the leaf’s vessel burn and rise

Ashes to ashes, higher and higher

Let the leaf fall to the ground, back to its essence
