Analysis of Of one above
Cast out into space
Is an earthen place
Where people gather
Their things into a circle
Of a world
And those who enter
Leave to another world
Of one above
And not beneath
Where they live and breathe
And take breath
And with a first step
Enter a world
Last of breath
Then they discover
Another place of light
Without a need of a sun
Or a moon in view
Where the blind see
And the deaf hear
Where they do not kneel
But stand upon both feet
