Analysis of Awake



If I stand on my tip-toes,
I can touch the sky
Gray clouds filling the space, unreached
/Pale light giving sight
To a view so divine,
I'd turn my back
and leave the world to lines
/Breathing in the atmosphere - a
rush of air so cool and clear -
As I raise my arms to the
wind
and fly
