Time and Gravity

Tonight is the night
when the stars whisper brightly
they remind me of eternity
I yearn but shall never touch..

Are you there?
Can you hear me..
when will you hold me?
when will you take me away?

I stand here, an earthling
trapped by gravity and fragility,
yet the mind stretches far
in search of a place to call
home away from here..

Sometimes I sob
at the beauty of moments
sometimes at the tragedy of
what takes people away from
each other...


and in the midst my shouts
I am just an ordinary earthling
looking above, wishing, waiting
yearning for release
from this obstinate bonds
of gravity and time.
