From The Stars

At a Distance

Everyday,
I sit at my window, 
Looking at the sea so far,
The clouds so close, 
and the music so loud. 
Wondering, 
about how wonderful
everything seems,
so small and harmless...
Tiny humans going about their usual day, 
colorful birds flying about their usual sky...
Everything is so 'usual', 
Everything seems so 'normal'
From a distance,
At a height. 

But why though? 
Why is everything so vulnerable, 
so un-clear yet perfectly understandable?
Just a few feet above other humans
take my away from humanity itself... 
Imagine being up there, 
Up in the sky... 
Beyond the clouds and the birds...
Imagine being so high up...
If only things could be on the ground, 
as they are in the sky. 
Or as they are- 
From a distance,
At a height
