Empyreal
Born of the earth
To shine beneath the sun
Feel of the air
On my skin now basking in the breeze
Being a mortal
Keeping my soul within
To grow and drink of sweet waters
Thus bringing infinite goodness.
Years pass by
And changes the grid
Bringing in changes in mind and body
To dwell upon its countenance
Waking up in sweet aspirations
Welcoming change
My soul draws full breath
Upon the sodden ground
Making a wish so sublime
In sadness and in happiness
Did I ask for too much
Or did the divine bless me so
For oft in introspect
I remain at the mercy of my feet
Taking me to distant lands
Which once I read in books
The clouds above me hang low
And the sky opens
Giving way to a light
That light I did perceive .
