Altitude

Soaring in the sky she saw
Chaos of life fanning beneath
A chronicle of scum shammed sublime
Viewing otiose tapestry of man’s burdens in disbelief

She saw seas deeper than life
For one were eternal and the other not
And yet the ostensible similarity
Tides ebbing & soaring in a monotonous plot

She saw both clouds & life acquire several shapes
And yet one assumed fluidity & the other not
She saw the sun ascend & sink much like life
And yet one coursed solo & the other stumbled tied in knots

She saw mountains wither away with time
Uncomplaining they deigned in oceans & river beds
While she saw rage, grief & resistance  
Amongst golems in a sea of deads 

She saw the flowers bloom and vanish in one season
Getting everything at one moment & then losing it all
& yet she saw the flowers blossoming again
While man congenitally was mourning its inevitable fall

She saw the rivers flowing seamlessly just like life
And yet one knew its destination & merrily made to shores

& yet she saw them glittering in moonlight
Inevitability of life is in melting 
& yet greatness is to shine brighter in the plight

She saw it all from the sky with proverbial bird’s eye
While conceited men desired to fly high like her
Nescient that though physical elevation they may possibly reach
But her height prevailed in some plains other...
