The sky extends beyond my knowledge
Beyond my vision
Beyond my being
Beyond my imagination

What is it I seek
From the limitless sky
What can I gather
With my limited mind

Looking up above
I see it is serene blue
And yet I am told
It is all a dark hue

Sheer vacant space
Without any colour
Emptiness surrounds
Without any flavour

I exist in sheer bliss
With an illusory sky
Thinking it is real
From reality I shy

Do I really know
If my body has a base
Or is it just an illusion
Created by space

Giving it a shape
I love so dear
Holding on to a mirage
And forever in fear
