Watch the Sky
Before reading:
This is completely
Untrue, wrong,
And incoherent
In the truest sense.
Object to all of this
If you wish,
You’re actually correct.
I stand in the wrong.
Thank you.

Sunset
Sunset
Everyone loves watching the sun set
Perhaps with a loved one
Perhaps alone
The beauty is what matters
Sunset
Not that different from
Sunrise
Same colors
Just different times
Sunrise
Sunset
Day
Life
Sunrise
Beginning
Birth
Sunset
Ending
Death
Sunset
Everyone watched Death intently
With keen eyes trying to find the beauty
Admiring the colors
The steps, the process
But not seeing it for what
It truly is
The end of the day
It’s time to sleep
The morning will come, no worries
Or is there?
But still
It’s one of those countless days
Might be important
Might not
Does it matter?
Maybe
Maybe not
What happens at night?
Sleeping?
Dreaming?
Partying?
It depends…
Who knows but the life
That’s being discussed?
Anyway…
Why can’t the bystanders
See the beauty?
It’s an everyday occurrence
It’s natural
Learn to love the one you’re with
…Well…
They don’t have to…
But still…
Sunrise
Why don’t they watch the sunrise
So intently?
They don’t wake up that early
They’re too lazy
They dismiss it
…Well…
There’s some who watch it
But they’re so few in number
…Why?
Day
Often the bystanders
Who watch day
Who observe it all
Hide
They’re virtually impossible
To find
Unless of course
You’re lucky
That’s great.
…Well…
I’m not suggesting
That’s the way it should be
Or that’s the way all bystanders should see
But still
Why not?
Seeing beauty every day is…
Well…
Beautiful
…
Is that why you think
Life is so ugly?
You’re just blind to the
Everyday beauty?
You just haven’t seen it yet?
Alright…
I have a plan
One day
When you’re feeling blue
And the sky agrees with your mood
Walk outside
Play in the rain
Splash the puddles
Feel the cold seep into your body
And run
Note the wind speed
Ignore your fingers
As they grow numb
Spin around
Laugh
And forget everything
But the tears
That the clouds offer you
When the rain stops
Lay in the grass
Look up at the overcast sky
And acknowledge every single
Detail in the clouds DNA
See how it flows in the sky
And melts into the heavens
Like a rainbow on a heavy spring day
Forget everything
You are as free as a
Sing-song bird
You are breathing
You are alive
You are beautiful
Yes,
It’s that easy
Sunrise
Sunset
Day
And now
It is Night
