sky

15.

she is a sky

dark and dreary

full of clouds

and sometimes none.

sometimes she is

a bright blue

and other times she is grey.

when she's tired

she is black with sleep

and the stars that

litter her skin

twinkle and keep

fear and nightmares away.

she is your favourite sky;

a breathtaking sunset

to end a day with hope

and a thunderstorm

with lightning that kills.

she has the power to

make you believe it's okay

at the same time

the world may be ending.

she is a sky predictable at times

and never mellow for long.

she is everyone's

and never her own.

but it's okay,

the tale is old

and she continues

to be there for all.

she is a sky

of extremes.

and so she is

the only one.

she is alone

to have her moods

and hurt only herself

in lonely solitude.
