Somewhere between earth and the sky



Sometimes nothing and no one can can bring my heart any rest
I long for what is past, what I couldn't and what is lost
Sometimes my heart with love so swells I cannot wait I cannot stop
High up it soars without a shade of doubt
As if I had just begun as though it was just the start
Sometimes I can hardly walk, sometime I fly
Somewhere I stand between the earth and the sky

Grounded by my fears, bound by my thought I can hardly move
Weighed down by guilt, I count all my loss
All my follies, all my shame, hold me there and still
Through the thick veil of doubt the road ahead I barely see
Then for no reason at all, I recall, I remember it all
All that I have learned, All that I can see
All that I may become, All that I can start
The days of my deeds are done, I stand high above it all
Looking down I can only laugh
At how with strings of thoughts I tie-up myself in many knots
Sometimes I laugh sometimes I cry
Somewhere I stand between the earth and the sky

As I rush through my days, towards some promise high
I am stopped by a moment of endless grace
This is the end, this is end
My heart is sure, it won't pretend
I wonder if it's true and why?
Somewhere I stand between the earth and the sky

At times I wonder at these bonds so strange
They hold me close won’t let me go
Sometimes I helplessly watch all pass me by
Sometimes I wish 
Sometimes in gratitude I lie
Somewhere I stand between the earth and the sky

Have I come here to unlearn or to learn anew
Have I come here to be or to become
Have I come here to see or to do
Have I been here forever or am I passing through
Have I risen from the earth or come from some place high
Somewhere I stand between the earth and the sky

Maya vs Love

That which belittles you, that which promises you happiness and but makes you unhappy instead, that, the more of which leaves you emptier than before, that which takes you away from truth...is Maya (delusion).
That which takes you towards your better self, that which connects you to your purpose, that which rids you of the weight of your self, that which takes you closer to truth...is inspiration, love, blessing...
Maya is not in things outside...it is in us...so it is with love.
