Bird above the sky,

Above the clouds, above that which is called the sky..

In the little calm I found

The sound that drenched my soul

When my eyes were soar

And my breath was merely heard

Floated through, the sound that made me jump

In it hatched the essence I yearned

The true help had arrived

Not from elsewhere but inside

A birth from within that I never knew to bear

A hand that reached inside and draped around

Like a womb for my strength to grow

A warmth that spread like the fire up the sky

In it that which was born

Nurtured the broken and ripped

Until my wings spread and broke out of the cocoon

Carrying me up above

Until the misery was beneath

Invisible from the distance

From where the strength now carried

Far and above like a bird above the sky
