Sky

By Shreya

 I’m in the sky,

 Watching the buildings like the pieces of Lego

 I see the trail of the highway lights,

 Connecting both cities, I’ve lived in

 One too distant to remember fully,

 Another mired in its mundane memories

 The roads melt into the green,

 The green dissolves to some unknown beaches

 And I am surrounded by the clouds

 Haze everywhere.

 One moment, I see it all,

 distinctly,

 Another,

 I am in total white

 I’ve cried over the future,

 I’ve dwelled on my past

 I used to look up to see the rain,

 Sometimes filling me with nostalgia,

 Sometimes, with a gloom

 Now I look down, and everything’s so minuscule

 At least for this moment.

 Insignificant, invisible.

 With so many unknowns and the burdened(heavy) knowns,

 I think nothing but muse about myself

 Rolling over these cloud sheets

 Something resembling the Mario world,

 Eating them up like cotton candies

 And peeking down as if that is the sky,

 Far and unfathomable.
