Yesterday, we were on the Earth
\nJuggling with heat from the sultry sun
\nAnd voila! today, we are in the sky
\nLooking through the thick of the clouds
\nTo find the route to our house<\/p>\n
We need to relearn everything
\nFrom how we walk, talk, and breathe
\nIt feels like we are floating in the air
\nWe need to talk softer, to manage the noise
\nWe need to inhale deeper, to fill our lungs<\/p>\n
The colors are different in the sky
\nPredominantly white, gray, blue, and
\ninfluenced by rays of the sun<\/p>\n
We need to understand the distance between the clouds
\nSome days, it is so clear, it hurts our eyes
\nSome days, it is so cloudy, that our vision is blurred<\/p>\n
On the Earth, we used cars, buses, and trains to travel
\nOn the Sky, we are yet to figure that out<\/p>\n
From the Earth, the sky looked so soothing
\nFrom within the plane, the clouds felt so relaxing
\nNow the Earth seems refreshing and lively
\nAnd life on Sky, with its mysteries, seems very lonely<\/p>\n
