Watching from Above

We watch from above

 

They rush here and there with no concern for us from above

Their lives a dash from one distraction to another

They are dressed in little as they dance around

 

Water

Wind

Sunlight

It’s all there for them

 

We watch from above

Our worlds never to meet

 

The world they live in, a mix of beauty and pleasure

The truth always hidden right out of sight from them

 

We watch from above

 

To be one of them is to lose who we are

 

We watch from above

 

We are dressed in more as we sit above them

 

Sky

Air

Shadow

It’s all here for us

 

We are not as free

Not as open

Not as joyful

 

I cast my body from the shadow

I leap to meet them

My world and theirs to become one

 

No longer do I watch from above
