the grey leviathans of the sky float towards the horizon

as the gods begin to smile upon them

delighted to see their babies come home

they painted them with colors never before seen

and the leviathans danced among themselves

on their long trek across the sky to their home

where the heavens and the earth converge

a place no mortal can arrive

always moving forward getting closer

failing to find safe harbor

facing the vast turbulent seas

some meet their end beneath the deep

some go one almost forever

further than most

forever following the great leviathans

as the gods bestow their praise upon them

envious of those that came before us

we too wish to see the same
