The Sky Lives

With the hopes of people in its heart, sets the sun
Making the sky black
And the sky lives….

The moon takes over for the lovers to chat
And for singles to dream of their lovers
Making the sky fill with love
And the sky lives…

The sun rises, bringing a day busier than the earlier
The sky remains, awaiting the next emotion
The day filled with rain
Some with sun and its glow, and
Some with trees shedding their leaves
And the sky lives…

The sky sees every emotion
Better than humans do
Thus, becoming beautiful but also painful and furious,
The look by the sky
With the emotions discovered
Connects the loved
And hence lives her emotions,
And in her emotions

The sky lives…
