The Sky's Temper Tantrum

The skies didn't cry,

This wasn't crying.

This was bawling.

This was screams of anguish

And flashes of rage.

This was the earth reminding us

That we are small.

That our sorrows are nothing

Compared to those of the clouds,

Who are pushed around by the wind

Never able to stand on their own.

That our rage is nothing

Compared to the sun,

Burning and destroying itself

In its pursuit for the moon.

That our responsibilities are nothing

Compared to those of the stars,

To whom we we rely on

To make our dreams come true.

This was the sky telling us its story,

Etching it into the earth,

Making us listen.
