Sky

This poem is fourth in the anthology of the poems based on the five elements.
Please read the previous ones, if you haven’t.

Space–The Space element represents the sky, but inside our body, represents the exit points – like ears, nostrils, and mouth. According to our Hindu culture, once the soul exits the body after death it takes any of ten exists like ears, nostrils or mouth to exit the body.

“Even
After
All this time
The Sun never says to the Earth,

“You owe me.”

Look
What happens
With a love like that,
It lights the whole sky.”
― Hafiz

The spaces between us
and spaces within us
we are breathing each other
the boundless sky
where we let our dreams fly
face to face
within the hatchery of stars
it carries the fire
earth and water
and we feel
divine within us

The spaces between us
and spaces within us
the ten doors
our soul
makes the exit from
and becomes one
with the divine

The spaces between us
and spaces within us
boundless as our dreams
bright and spangled with
our hopes
you surround us
and encompass us

We are within you
and you are
within us.
