Glimpses in the skies

I see glimpses of You whirling in the skies,

Your dance is ethereal, You are absolutely free.

You move in circles tossing and turning life in me,

You are the Eternal Beloved, maker of destinies.

I stand mesmerized and I gaze at You for long,

 I stand there still, let the time slip by.

I care for nothing, and I am unafraid to die.

All I wish to be with You, for that’s where I belong.

I try to reach out for You but in vain,

All I get is nothing, the distances remain.

And I do not falter to try again and many a times more,

For, that is what I wish to do, I now know for sure.

It’s been quite a while and You haven’t let me in,

I have been waiting for You since the time, time has been.

And I know now only the chosen one will be let in,

Yet, I stand beyond the gates, begging You to let me in.

They laugh at me and scoff at me,

They say, my wish will never come true.

For, there are many and your chances are few,

I care not for what my future holds, for all I wish is You.
