Heads Down Heads Up

I
We forget, days go by
We forget to gaze at sky

II
We are so earth-bound, non-birds
We see level, ground level, as words
Made for learning, learning theory, that is
Bound in text, texting, books, libraries

III
I learn to remind myself to look at sky
If u can't see skies easily, look high!
Trees will do, even thorns. If there are hills
Do gaze. Amaze you: mood lifts, soul trills
