Ever laid outside, still?
Staring at an empty sky..
Ever fixed your gaze,
at nothing but a single star?
Feeling the tender breeze
warping you up with silence..
And you grow big; You grow tall..
Getting too close to a single star..
Giving yourself away
to a silent moonless night..
Full of air.. Full of life..
And you start floating in empty space..
Flying like a butterfly……. No..
More like a huge hot air balloon..!
Driven with the warm flame inside of you..
Carried by the cool soft waves of air..
You grow big with every blow of wind; With every inhalation..

Ever felt like flying?
Moving up so high?
Lifted by an inverted gravity of heavens..
Slowly drowning into the sky..
Ever felt sedated and light?
Ever felt free, in no need to fight?
Out of mind, out of sight..
Out of earth, out of light..
Nothing but you and the darkness of night..
The limitless sky and a single starlight..

Ever opened up?
Letting the whole world in?
Growing bigger and lighter..
Letting in your loved ones and haters..
All your wounds and your scars..
All the joyful reasons to smile..
The good and the bad.. Happy and the sad..
All the fears and happiness tears..
Heaven and hell, and all that’s in-between..
Just let it all in..
Let them impulse you and grow you big..

Ever felt full…. But light?
Growing bigger, but younger..?
Taller than the mountains..
Wider than the oceans..
Higher than the highest you have ever reached..
Sublimate into a white transparent cloud..
Cover the sky along the horizon..
Above everything and everyone..
Above the little weak helpless you..
For You are no longer You..
You and the universe have become one..!

Have you ever let go?
Surrender.. Peacefully.. Willingly.. And let go..
Expand… Explode to tiny grains,
and rain down on the world..
Like fairies dust.. Glow and sparkle..
Fill the atmosphere with sweet magic..

Let go…
And let the wind spread you around..
Let it spatter you upon the hills and fields..
The deserts and seas..
On a playful child skin, and a shy young lady’s hair..
On the high held noses of the reckless youth,
And the wrinkled palms of the olds..

Let go…
And rain down on the restless you..
Fall down softly back to your skin..
Back to your limited small and still body..

Let go…
And let the wind that carried you away once,
let it now lay you back outside..
Under the empty sky,
watched by a single star..
a day
there in
gravel that
yearn with
pit then
a year
to graft
their fixing
and chart
digression in
the swamp
where a
farce in
legion of
Sky to
pay the
overlord cries
Audra Feb 2019
Have I told you about that day
When I gave up all hope?
Can I tell you about that day?
Because it just might come again

Just let me tell you
About the day I gave up
When the sky seemed too blue
And my life was dull gray.

No one knows about that day
When I couldn't hold on
But now it must be shared
Before another one like it comes

Today is not like that day
For I can see much more clearly
And my head does not spin, yet
I fear another one like it comes.
the skies were blue, and the day came out of no where
James LR Feb 2019
The night looks different unto me,
Forever different it will be.
Others too have seen as I;
others too have watched the sky:
The quiet holes pierced in the veil,
the silver rider as he sails
Across the river in the sky.
Many look at darkened sky,
Many never knowing why
Our eyes are pulled forever up.

I pity those who do not know
the beauty that the heavens show.
I look up in the sky
I see a moon
Accompanied with million of stars,
I wonder the sky
Who binds them all.
The moon having
The most pock.
Is still so resplendent.
The stars that flicker
For like a zillion times
We still can’t get our eyes off them.
The most fine looking sky
Changes it colours
For the most often time of the day
Can anyone even miss that splendid time?
The pleasant beauty
They behold
By accompanying each other
Together for like ever.
Such peaceful ambiance it makes
To sit and cerebrate.
A romantic night for the lovers
And an opportunity for the poets.
I look up in the sky.

In my darkest times
You are the single star
that glows so bright,
I realize I only need
one star to light
my night sky.

Rubayiat Al Thurab (Verses of the Dust) – 40

BismillahIr RahmanIr Raheem

I am willingly the faqeer. (devout wanderer)

Who eagerly drank the Eternal Drink’

Through your noble hand, Oh my beloved!

Nor, there are any shelter, nor there is bond.

In Your Eternal Love, I wander wherever I naturally want,

And gently set my poised head upon the sacred earth,

And at ease myself, under the opened vast sky!

Allah Khair….. Khairul Rabul Alameen Yah Arrahmanur Yah Raheem
