Airborne spirits rise
clouds cradle drifting dreams
valour in soft mist
each gust whispers ancient tales—
bravery stains the blue sky
Bravery stains the blue sky
echoes ride the restless wind
courage in each breath
twilight crowns their silent pride—
heroes written in the sky

Smoke curls through late nights,
youth chasing its wild freedoms—
too much, too soon spent.
In the glow of reckless joy,
a quiet warning flicker’s.
Parties blur to dawn,
habits tighten into chains.
We ask as we fall—
can too much good turn to harm,
and who decides the measure?
I wrote this after reading a poem posted on Hello Poetry, written by Daan, a Belgian poet—titled Missing.
