Sky
by Debby Rosenberg
where does the earth end and the sky begin?
is the horizon just the eye level of distance?
in pondering, I sense the earth connection with my feet
my breathing absorbing the aether all around me
I look up, why must the sky be above?
lowering my head and gaze I recognize the sky comes along
…it’s all around me the very substance to breathe, sit in, and walk through…
an ocean of sky and I’m completely submersed and in love with this permeating sensation
my awareness of thoughts shift from the internal which looks out through brown eyes
onto the delicate and subtle layers floating all around me
above my head, now right, then left
exploring the ecstatic comprehension this awareness does not live inside my body…
and is the sky as self
