This night sky full of stars

Reminds me of when I was a kid

And looked up to a similar sky

Wondering if I could reach those stars

If I stretched my hand far enough

 

The dreams changed when 

One day I could only see

The dark clouds covering the sky

Which had always seemed so 

So invincible, so untouchable

 

Yearning for the light

I couldn’t understand why

Why didn’t the sky fight back

Was it’s light not enough

To even make a crack in the foreboding clouds?

 

Of course, things have changed

since then, I have changed

And now I realize that maybe

Maybe the clouds were just like me

Admiring something from far below

wondering if they could ever reach it…

Maybe if they stretched far enough?
