Up In the Sky
Up ..in the sky
On this man made bird I fly
Away from the streets of chaos
To the clouds white , fluffy and sublime.
Flying to a city miles away
On the other side of the globe
Different from the home you know
Anticipations are galore
One sees around the faces that are bound
Some to meet dear ones
Some to a greener pasture found
Some too old that suffer the journey
Some so young that that they cry plenty
The long flight hours
Evoke thoughts like flowers
Of what has been achieved
And what lies ahead
In the path you chose
In the life you own
Faces that on ground are always tense
Seem relaxed and smiling which is rare
Almost like a pause in between
The maze of tensions our lives constantly breed
The stillness of the flight
Does relax ones mind
Wish one could
Do this more
On the ground on what we call home
Cause as soon as one lands
You can see the restlessness back
To grab your bags
To hail the cab
To rush to office
To make some more profit
To buy something more
To make calls galore
To worry and get bored
To be loved or ignored
To be healthy or sick
To be poor or rich
To be irritated or upset
To be wanting ...that never ever ends
No doubt though it may be a few
The hours in the clouds
Were so calm and cool
It does give one a good insight
To where one stands in ones life
Thoughts in a place that gravity defies
High ...up ...up in the sky.
