Look Up to the Sky

When it pours down
When the snow blows
When you look at the passing clouds
When the sky moves

Just look up to the sky
    (for death feels so close)
Look for a shape it builds
You smile
    (or ask for a wish)

Lend it some luck
When the winds take it home
Shower them on her children
Growing fast and strong
Foster hearts and minds
To go far and wide
Having stars as their guide
    (and to repeat the cycle again)

Birds to keep them warm
Shielded from the waves cursing at the shore
or the mighty forest rustling their leaves
or the oaks screeching their bark
or the monkeys pulling on your ropes
and the jungles with their wild hospitality
    (widely known throughout the world)

When you see a cloud
Look for the memories it carries
    (hurry, there’s no time left)
Look for the travelers it takes
Moments of beauty and light it gives away

When you wish for a change
    (we have something just for you)
Go upstairs and pull the curtains
To the everlasting skies

When your memories feel stale
    (it’s time to renew!)
Before wrapping the show
Look for a shape that fills your void

When the Divine come to play
    (it’s time for you)
The skies sing and the trees ballet
Go out

Let it take you into home
Let the buds in your thoughts flow
Let the listless rhythm penetrate your soul
Let the unending rain soak in whole

The hopes of your ancestors nourish and nurture you tenderly
    (you’ve got the best deal in town)
Before the party comes to a close.
