The Sky Is...

The sky is a dream

It is reaching for the stars

Praying you won’t fall

And if you do, there’s someone there to catch you

The sky is a mystery

Of what could be

Asking ourselves, “Are we alone?”

Only to receive no reply

The sky is possibilities

A vast representation of our imagination

Ever changing

Yet always the same

The sky is darkness

The fear of being alone at night

It’s not being able to find your way

Until you can finally see the pale moonlight

The sky is happiness

A child’s dream of wearing a while marshmallow suit

The NASA emblem pasted to their chest

It is the essence of our childhood
