Wake-Up In the Sky

I wake up in the sky,
Feeling tired.
I see the world besides me,
And cry.
I feel the wing and notice there, 
Love besides.
I feel unwanted and sad in shame,
Not knowing.
Who it is, I feel this way.
Every time i see those eyes,
So happy.
Full of joy and laughter,
I turn.
Like a little kid laughing,
So shy.
I see him noticing me,
My heart is filled with joy.
I taste the sweetness of the feeling, 
And smile.
I savor the truth that is not yet revealed,
And suffer.
To drown in this love,
Is eternal.
Like snails walking so slowly, 
I look.
There in front the fears come out,
And stop.
To feel the wind on my face...
To come down from that sky...
And notice everything is like a lie...Wake up!
See my bed,
I look around and nobody is there.
Go back to sleep, 
And wake-up in that sky again!

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
