The Sky Will Tell You Why

 

Ask yourself as how would you live

For years & decades but not ages

Beneath shadow of unbounded sky

That bestowed roof to earth & sages

The sky looks down never does it talk

Shelters us in levelled or uneven walk

Shows you signs of how & why

Could see those joyous symbols clear

Then why live in the world of fear?

The sky inspirit for not less but more

Then why one shall live so unsure?

It plays & paint with white clouds

Some days shows love with sketched heart

Sometimes make it very big & large

To persuade that 'This is the Start!'

What you could read in that simple sign

That the earth, the sky & all are thine

And there lies nothing to be unsure

When you given always, give more

Like never ending & infinite

All stars that glitter in the sky

Plants & trees & creatures & we

Dwell on this land without any fee

Neither the sky nor this earth

Has ever asked anything from us

It always gives & gives some more

And questions never to settle scores

Which is why they always were here

Will answer any day to all, be fair

So, the life be of love & care

Where all be good & all must share

Not snatch from all what you cannot be

For yourself or for the family

You be tall, you be all

You be big, you be small

What or how you do, novice or sweet

Be a better being & thus never retreat

Maybe you tumble for years this to find

But always be gentle, humble & kind.
