The Sky appears just above our heads
So nearer to be caught
Yet, no length of hand can grab
The ocean waters, vast and vast
But a thirsty mouth can’t sip some in
The Air is all around us
Yet, you can’t hold it in your palms
Nor seal it in the lung
The mind is one with the body
Still it is out of control
Opportunities abound
Still success is only a chance
And happiness is fleeting.
Verses from the Heart 
I remember trying to reach the sky with my hand when I was a child. I loved this poem. It reminded me of that time.

That’s lovely.
Glad to know that a few of us have tried to do that.
Me too remember having tied two sticks end to end and tried to touch the sky from the top of the room in the terrace.

Such a lovely poem, Sang. Everything seems to be like at the reach of your hand but as nearer you go, the farther they seem to move. And as you said success is only a chance but with hard work and will, may be in bits and parts but it does come to you.
