I had waited so long, year after year
It was all trivial for I was here
Five hours there, and five hours back
The ascent had caused an excitement attack
My last emotion would be that of fear
60 seconds later and the earth would appear
I felt it getting tighter on my legs and my back
I felt beyond secure, there was no more slack
Flying through that uncontrollable breeze
Oddly enough, I had never felt so at ease
One with nature, and one with God
It was beyond beautiful, without a facade
Nothing beats that feeling, that as you soar
Only seven months, seven more
Among The Angels
