Painless in Flight

 

I sometimes live in long ago

I sometimes feel I'm there

I cannot live in the present

I don't know if I'm here or where

 

Time passes and days go by

I do not see them pass

So while I live within my dreams

It's like living in a darkened glass

 

I'm missing out on today’s joys

Because yesterday holds me fast

I want to really live today

And move beyond the past

 

I want to wipe away my memory

And begin to live again

In a world where there is laughter

And the sun can enter in

 

But today there is no sunshine

Today there are only dreams

Of hurts and pain and sadness

And the sound of anguished screams

 

Behind the clouds the sun still shines

And somewhere the world is bright

I think at last I'll find that world

When I at last take flight.
