the blue sky path

You must LOOK UP to see
the blue sky path.

You must LOOK UP.
Am I crazy?

I am crazy.
I carry this boat on my back
as we float along on
this inverted
river.

The blue sky path is a promise.
The blue sky path is a promise
kept and a promise yet
to be kept.

You must LOOK UP.
You must LOOK UP
to
walk
the blue sky path.

Everywhere I've gone I have
loved the birds, I have
loved the trees.

They have loved me back
in the only way nature
has of loving you
back,
in
the
warm
breath of spring,
in the taste of summer
and autumn in the same
mouthful, in the bitter
bite of winter that
reminds you
that
it
all
comes
to an end.

You have to look up.

There is no other way.
You have to look up
to see
the
blue sky path,

even in the darkness,
even in the rain.

Remember: the blue sky path
does not stop here.

The blue sky
path passes
through
here,
but
it
does
not stop here.

You can drown or
you can look up.

You can close your eyes or
you can look up.

You can keep asking
questions
to
which
you already
know the answer or
you can look up.

LOOK UP.
Stalwart souls! LOOK UP.

We are mad, more often than not.
When we're not, we suffer.

So look up. Look up and walk
the blue sky path
with me,
with
us.

We are not alone.
Not anymore.

Not for
a
very
long time.

Longer than
you can remember. 

Look up and you will remember.
