Alone

The sky is huge.

So big, like the ocean on a calm day.

But without all the friendly fish to keep the water company

The sky is all alone to face the world

With no one on his side.

Not even the birds or the clouds stay forever.

The sky is never truly happy.

The sun leaves,

The moon leaves,

And we leave

We leave the sky to fend for itself

We are cruel just because we are human

How do we live with that?
