The sky

The sky, high above

it has always been blue,

it will never change

‘till man is long gone, this is true.

The seas, vast and untamed

will always be there,

will never calm

throughout eternity, anywhere.

Nothing in life is set;

the only constant is change.

We know not what time will bring

or what fate may arrange,

but whenever I feel down

I look up at the sky,

dream about the future,

while watching the countless clouds go by.

Oft I wish everything would stay the same

and sometimes the same thought seems mad.

Fortunately, the sky will always be blue

and, despite it all, this makes me really glad.
