Have I Anywhere To Go But Up?

Ali

HAVE I ANYWHERE TO GO BUT UP?
The clouds whisper words,
floating on nothing but the wind,
as they whisk me anew
up and into
the bright, blue sky.
HAVE I ANYWHERE TO GO BUT UP?
My head nods to and fro
up and up
with the accumulations of passing thoughts,
cheery,
with positive pleasure.
HAVE I ANYWHERE TO GO BUT UP?
I await my chance at the stage,
walking the steps upward,
to a newfound life
of popularized stories
and sweetened chansons-
to echo the concert hall.
HAVE I ANYWHERE TO GO BUT UP?
There's a man in my dreams
My soul begs for him,
As he raises his hand...
to join mine.
So I ask...
HAVE I ANYWHERE TO GO BUT UP?

(cHEER UP EVERYONE....ONE DAY THIS WAR WILL BE OVER...BUT IN THE MEANTIME....WRITE ON.....!)
