I stand in exit door,
Ready to be embraced by nothing.
Just that air waits with open arms;
So I jump into an unseen bosom.

Flying now, she holds me gently,
Yet still lets me fall.
Plummeting to an earth I walked on;
Ready to kill me if silk wings don't open.

Then, a sweet nirvana enfolds this man,
I am gliding gracefully on a fierce wind.
This freedom it gives me I've never known;
Though I may die, doesn't matter in this instant.

Diving swiftly like an eagle,
To the soil where I was born.
I pull the cord that will save me,
My new lifeline that keeps me here.
