Falling, falling towards the ground
Nothing around me except for the clouds
Some puffy white, others dark and dreary
The continuously changing sky engulfs my body
There is only hope for me in the winds in which I am drifting
A certain path is certainly not known
For my fate has yet to show
A padded ground could await
Or I could experience a hard awakening, reality breaking earthquake
