Always flying high and

breathing the air that

cries a whistle of wind at night.

Down in the fields,

excited screams from children who aren't

frowning because their

grandmothers like to play

hide and seek with them.

I fly above the

joking boys and girls in the fields.

Kangaroos could never jump

like the children I see.

Masterful leaps, yet they

never reveal their secrets.

Of course, I saw beauty,

pheasants flew past me,

quails howled. But

right as the

sun was setting,

the most beautiful,

undying beauty appeared before me.

Verifying my life, proving its

wonders were alive. Like a

xylophone of color, rather than one of sound.

Yet the color won't last forever.

Zero smiles are shared when the sunset is gone.
