Cloud

I was standing on a cloud,
Hoping to fall down,
And land beneath your feet,
For you to walk on me,
And follow close the line,
With each step across my spine,
So I can take the pain,
To help me breathe.
Slowly,
Lift me if you can.
Hold me,
In the centre of your hand.
Show me,
What it means to be a man.
Slowly,
Close your fingers down.
