The Sky

Urduja

~
You were the sky, I was the earth
Where stars cannot be touched
When the sea was not a thin line
As the sun and moon were like fancy gems
~
You were the heaven I dreamed to reach
When I was the dry, barren soil that cried
Asking for the dewdrops to fall
Like a shooting star coming from you
~
I was the earth you did not see
While your tears of joy fell down
I was the one who celebrated
For the bits of miracle I received
~
Dark sky you were to me
But I have learnt to feel more clouds
Found out why the sun needs to hide
When your tears appeared as miracles
~
And now do you comprehend
That you are the sky over me
I am the earth that carries all
The heavy loads you cannot keep
~
You're not the sky without me
I'm not the earth without you
The sea now is a thread between us
You just have to look down
~
I am the earth, I always will
I have to find my peace here
I need you even at your dark times
And you need me to be a bright sky
~
Wash me when you cry
Wipe me when you're with the sun
I won't refute, I understand
That I am the earth and you are my sky
~

Author's Note

There's a storm here in our place and can't do anything but to stay indoors, sit by the window and watch the sky...
