In General

I am back,
or so they say,
to continue these
ravenous-ramblings
through the sky.

Once, maybe twice,
I will be gone without a
stitch left behind,
only these words.

These days,
they can be numbered 'cause
yeah, I can
count that high;

higher than I can jump
and will have to in
order to not fall now.
Down where the ground is
less than soft, but is,
at least, welcoming and familiar.

Around that wall,
through that door
and over your body.
I dreamt I touched it once.
Or did I?

Who are you any how?

In fifty years it will
all be the same,
but in the
meantime, why can't you
let me be?

I am back,
or so they say,
isn't that enough?

So cool.
While reading this, a melody almost instantly popped into my head. There are parts that definitely have a strong rhythm, and there's the subtle rhyming of "sky" and "high"... I guess what I'm saying is that with a bit of tweaking it could make an awesome song.
Speaking of which, if you ever get to record that song that you did a while back, I'd love to hear it.
