My Blue Planet and Turquoise I……..

 

I can hear my breath,

Feeling so dead beyond death,

There’s silence all around,

Happiness is nowhere to be found,

I am the only leaf that has fallen apart from the tree,

The lone fish roaming in the deep blue sea,

They say never search happiness in others but what if it lies with them?

Those moments with my people were gem,

Oh! Recalling those memories is like smelling sweet scent,

Thinking all the time I spent,

And looking at the moon magnificent,

My blue planet and turquoise I,

Staring at the dark and everlasting sky,

Hoping this time would soon pass by,

Stars scattered on a vast black sheet,

Playing with the soft sand with my hushed feet,

For now, this is all that I can do,

Missing the green grounds and the skies blue,

Yearning to go back where I belong,

As the universe sings its own song,

Stuck on a planet and longing for home,

Which is why I am writing this poem!
