Dilemma

The azure blue sky calls me to Heaven.
The fiery dusty Earth seeps me into Hell.
Angels ,cherubs hover around my head.
Serpents,demons cling to my feet.
"Homo fuge" *-I read in my mind.

Whither should I fly O God?
Whither should I fly?

*Homo fuge is a latin phrase meaning 'Fly O Man' used in Dr.Faustus.

    a perfect dilemma...an endless sky above displaying endless heaven i.e. endless happiness , whereas the restricted earth below with gravity...that bounds us to make hell out of our lives [at the moment of obstacles in life]
    ...and in the last two lines...a choice to be made to chose either of them...
    nice write! :)
