Unnoticed
The sky dances for us like one not unaccustomed to attention but longing for affirmation

Unacknowledged
The sun hugs us with the warmest embrace,  like we're old friends who have know each other since birth
Seeing us through our awkward phases and past lovers
Listening to us beg it to come out from behind the clouds on our worst days

We don't listen to the stories the creatures of the sky and land regale between breaths of song
We don't value their wisdom anymore
Rare and fleeting if there ever was a time in which we did

We refuse to smell the beautiful commradery of all that happens

Without us

We only taste the defeat of failure or the destruction of our daily encroached reality

We prefer it that way

Beacuse then we can't let the light in,
If there's no light

We see no need for change
Because we see nothing
