Hendrix phrase-kiss the sky- original?

I think this forumn is the correct one since it requires a factual answer.

Did Jimmy Hendrix originate the phrase kiss the sky or did he get it from a poem? Was it perhaps a phrase he picked up playing with blues artists before he went on his own?

And plese don’t even bring up misheard lyrics. That’s been done to death.

The only thing I can find is H. Rider Haggard’s She (Chapter XI) where it doesn’t seem to be used in the same sense.
