HEIGHTS

Looking at the wide sky
Down on the floor I lay
Living in the dream of today
& in the scent of the wet clay

Blossoming in the humble soil
Drinking the pure water
That ran across the lake
With my growing roots of birth

Budding on the strong foundations
Rising up day & night
Taking every challenge to the fight
Reaching the aspired stations

Intensifying beyond the fringes…
Looking at the wider world around…
Competing in the cruel world
With my companions surround

As the horizon became clearer
The days became brighter
And the nights beautiful & lone
Not that I became prone

It’s just then that I gathered
Realizing the depth below
That I felt a bit dizzy
Before being overwhelmed

Unsteady and dodgy
The trunk cracked down
Knocking the wind out of me
With my body thrashed on the floor

Back to the land
In a matter of a second
I threw away all I had earned
Gaining the importance of height!!
