The Well on Cloud Nine

Having everyone else just be a little faster than me while I crave to keep my youth and childhood together through the years.

I am well on cloud nine

I am well on cloud nine

I am drinking without age

and dormant in this state

I am well on cloud nine

Constant stars see me from the skies

Passing ships of my friends greet me on the tides
Passing ships of my friends greet me as they pass by

I am well on cloud nine

Ocean bells calls and wash old days

I am on my back floating on my own ways

I see nothing but sky and stars

Though thoughts of them are hardly far

I am sober on my fears

And I have no doubt that they are near

I count the sphere like I did cars

Do you think they too fear what they are?

I am safe on cloud nine

My loves give me refuge out here at sea

My loves give me promise out of remedy

There the astronauts tell me that home is close to me

Here passing ships of my friends don't look on fondly

I have found a secret place that will only be mine

Now and then I am safe in the well on cloud nine

everyone needs a place to feel safe, mine is in the world of words. Cloud nine sounds like a nice place to be.

That really goes deep. Your own special place that gives you comfort. Somewhere to take solace. No fear there. Cloud nine is the very best place for you to be.....Kyam
