A Boy Who Touched The Sky

sand and mud

splattered on his dud

he watches his

shoes sinking

deeper in pool

a stone 

at sight

he doesn't want 

to fight

but that seems

the only way

to keep him cool

he thrashes

and there goes

the stool

flying through the sky

a story to boast about

as birds don't lie

the crying soul

went dashing 

through the door

calling foul

roaring back 

comes a clutter

for a boy 

the success matters

so he gathers

his wet shoes

and tries to

adjust the 

stance

forgetting the

simple fact

of he didn't 

stand a chance

and with a dance

or two

he runs like a fool

towards the old school 

with the thought 

of ghosts

playing dust off

while his feet

had started to give up

rolling 

over the grass bed

his breath wide spread 

a dragon cloud

soaring high

flew right amidst the

floating sky

the bird

waved him slight 

flying to go out of sight

he had lost and found

his try 

beyond the mighty sky

while fresh droplets 

felt on his face 

ended up the chase 

rain had 

made the dragon cloud

to surrender

a dream to ponder

yet again

while he held his wet shoes

walking down under

the rainbow

that bridges his 

imagination 

to touch the sky 

right over his head

he jumps..
