Where To Be

To strech beyond the endless sky,
with no baggage of guilt to carry,
spread the wings, just aspire to fly,
no wants, no cause for worry.

To plunge beneath the deepest ocean,
wearing a suit, a mask for sight,
tearing shoal of fishes' motion,
and bury many a trivial fight.

ironically,today I stand firm on the ground,
attempting to connect the future to past,
No wings to fly, No fins to drown,
wondering, am I in this place miscast ?

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.

Ya Andrea, we all want to bury the negativity that surrounds us, the unnecessary worries and fly like a free bird, lead a peaceful life.
