I fell from cloud nine
But landed on butterflies
As I fell from a cloud so high
I didn’t know that this heart of mine
Was steel enough to remain
They say your life flashes before your eyes
Just before you die
Well mine did as I fell through the skies
I knew that when I hit the ground
Everything I held in esteem
Will yet be nothing but memory
Flashes of laughter, sorrow, deceit,
Forgiveness, love, hate, happiness, regret
Sang their hymns through my thoughts
I felt myself anger and love all together
The two extremes of life join hands in one fall
This fall promises to be my end!
Suddenly I was awaken by different thought
just as positive strikes out negative
I was reminded of hope.
As I reached cloud number five, four more till I’m done,
I begun to erase the sorrows with laughter,
The deceit with forgiveness,
The regret with second chances
And finally my hate was erased with love
love as beautiful as butterflies.
The fall moved my heart to race
A race which caused it to survive the marathon
So now I can boldly say
I did fall from cloud nine
Indeed it was a great fall
But yet still, I rise!
I rise on the wings of butterflies.
