I once knew...
Or at least I thought I did,
that these arms only sought
to grab at what is in the sky.
Then as I aged,
these arms had grown older.
They’d only scramble
for what lays within reach.
But every so often,
the eyes still wander
to the heavens.
Tracing the outline of clouds,
drinking up the shade of blue
and catching rays of sun.
•••
With feet planted to the earth,
and a head full of clouds,
in this moment,
I am happy.
