Tiny feet in wet sand...

Look up
Look up
Don’t be afraid
We all do
In a different way!

Look up look up
You are so tiny
I am standing on a mountain
Are you still breathing?
Look up look up
Don’t give up
You are still growing
Among ants and reptiles.
Look up Look up
Where are you?
I can’t find
In a crowd of two.
Look up Look up
Don’t be shy
We all love you
But you still need a mic.
Look up Look up
That guy is cute
Can you see his face?
Go read some books.
Look up Look up
Being shorter helps
I lost a pin
Would you find it, please?
Look up Look up
I got a hair cut
Can you still hear me?
Oh! stand on a stool.

Look up Look up
Why hide away in bushes?
Let us sit on a chair
And frame us together.
Don’t be shy
Will photoshop your legs
Make you dance over the wall
Do a catwalk on the ramp.

So what if clothes don’t fit you
You are still charming
Helping us to hide our insecurities
in something you were born with.
So what if you are short
It makes you cute
Just don’t speak
It sounds so rude,
You are pretty
Be like that
A doll in the museum

For everyone else to stare at.

I sing along....

I sing along with
The brisk morning of the lilies
Blossoming from their flower,
The fluttering of the mango trees
Ripening with their fruit,
The humming of the mynas
Floating by my side,
and the ripple of the river
That flows beneath the hills....

I sing along to celebrate the moment
to forget my past
to excite my present
And to endure the future....

Lyrics forgotten, music in shreds
The voice echoes in parts
And yet I hear them in vain,
Weather changes with hope
I swear not to leave my song
Bewildered next morning
I long for a new tone....

I sing along
With the rising of sun
I sing along
With the night of the moon
I sing along
With the love I made
And I Sing along
With whom I never met....
