Excellence Award in the 'Horizon of Dreams 2018' competition
The sky beautiful with the different shades of blue, shining, sparkling, shimmering,
The beauty calms me as I watch birds fly about like angels in the sky,
The moon, a half moon, shining without a second thought
Only half shines above me but my dreams lie within, its beauty charming me
My thoughts leave me fluttering away like butterflies, leaving me, with the sky, the blue sky,
Left with thoughts of pulling as I am hypnotised by the sky and all the clouds,
The clouds changing, shapes, sizes, colour, changing like its telling a story
Nature shines within this planet we call home,
Every day the world tells a different story, just listen and you can hear it too,
Can you hear them calling? Can you hear them whispering?
Can you hear the sky? Can you hear it? Can you?
The sky nun the less beautiful. Not a care, loving, caring,
As day changes to night so does the sky, changing from Blue to Black, Clouds to stars,
But the beauty still lies within, nothing changes, the sounds of the night, chirping echoing
As we lay in our beds, sleeping till morning with the sounds of night fill all around us
Can you hear it? The birds, the stars, the life? Only one thing never changes, its beauty.
