As I Look Up, Straight Into the Sky.

Lying on the mat, no worldly restriction by my side,

As I look up, straight into the sky;

I see:

I see the birds flying,

With easy floating desires,

Chirping and gliding, within no bound wires.

I see a cloud floating by,

Light as lighter could get,

Making me wish that free my heart would someday get.

I see a plane zoom by,

And the strength in it makes me sigh,

The wish of having a no-man world seems to die.

I see then a rainbow,

After the evening shower, looking like heaven’s prize,

Every part of numbness seems to have received its feed through my eyes.

I turn away, as I could not see the sun,

Its gleam and shine, caused my brows to frown,

And again I’m brought back to look at the shadows it cast down.
