Cloud Nine
Liang Li Yee
you wait for your turn
to ascend into fairyland
to reach far and high
without the danger of white in the nigh
two hands on deck
wrapped around your neck
a little squeeze is all it takes
for the rush of things
to take place
your body screams to breathe
‘not so soon’
a moment longer is all you need
just a little more
to savour the feel of bliss
to savour…
to live
to breathe
you feel light enough to fly, gone is the sad
the air buzzes behind your back
to make things great
they all record
like it’s a spin
if only for a moment
until its permanence ceases
