Way up high

"We jump..."
From our perch
so high
with so far
to fall,
and your
the only reason
we're up here
at all,
you raise us up
to heights
we never knew,
we'd all be lost
without you,
but know we're up here
we can't get down
without the foundations
being rocked,
shaken from the ground,
but if they were
we'd come crashing down
screaming all the way,
knowing we were destined
to die
"... and pray to god we can fly."

I really like this, it set the old brain cogs whirring.

Kheldar :--)

P.S. Small typo "But if the were" (sorry!!)

I like the playfulness of this poem
