The Sky Laughs and Cries

Submitted by SingingSigrid on Sun, 01/06/2013 - 8:03pm

She loved the way you 

Always laughed with her.

At secrets that only 

Believers can see.

Because you taught her that 

Pretending is 

Different than believing.

That sometimes imagining is 

Knowing, not just 

Wishing.

You taught her that reading the 

Lyrics off the Sun is humbling.

But most of all, she learned from you 

That the 

Sky does cry, but it also

Laughs.

And that's alright, 

You said.

That's the way it is in this 

Less than perfect world.

Because rain mixed with the Sun,

Tears mixed with laughter,

After that always comes a 

Rainbow.

A poem begins as a lump in the throat, a sense of wrong, a homesickness, a lovesickness.

You guys are awesome.

If you want to view paradise, simply look around, and you will. Anything you want to... do it. Want to change the world? There's nothing to it.

 

Thanks everybody!
