Out of orbit

In this galaxy of complexity and simplicity

She went out of orbit

The rocks of her foundation didn't stop her

And she took another path

She met other stars on the way

Joined them on many a night

Shared secrets and stories

Of a life she could now only call her previous one

She wanted to climb the stairway to heaven

Rise,rise and shine different in the dark skies

Venus stood by her at every point

Luck decided to fortune her

Past the hurdles and walls she climbed

Remembering those she had left behind 

Her heart chilled by their indifference

And the sense of dissimilarity they felt

One evening she sat by the rainy window

And thought of the people she had once claimed to know

The people who said they cared,loved and cherished her as much as she did them

Where were they now?

She stood now among the clouds

Finally her journey complete

People from the previous life encountered her

Reminding her how much things had changed

But how roots of the soul's essence don't

They had no idea how lost she felt inside with them

She was surrounded by those who truly loved her and

Had travelled with her on her revolution

Meeting the people of her far-away life

She thought of how distance can change everything

You can be surrounded by all the pleasures and niceties

You can reach the absolute zenith of your wishes

Its somehow incomplete though 

When you don't have those you started out with.
