Rest in peace

Rest in peace

A Poem by Lana

A pale blue sky was painted with a bright yellow light and birds flying high
It was a beautiful day with a summer breeze that made you feel high
There were cars passing by, and a beautiful soul just going by
Walking down the same path to do the same task

Everyday was the same but it was his hours that were his only
He owned the lungs that he breathed 
And the heart that he beats in the same rhythm of his feet
He painted the blue sky with graffiti

And although some might not call it art and not think it's worthy
The sky was his, as the world that gave him life would've agreed
And although the path that he chose to walk on
Seemed so hard and heavy 
He made his life his own, and for that he succeeded

The sky was black against his will 
It owns the night, that crazy little thing called life
It doesn't let you take time to think about the dark
Or where you will go once it's all empty

It was an ugly cold day
The floor was wet as it rained all day 
The sky turned grey
And the clouds moved around anxiously waiting for a few drops to fall down

There was the sound of the subway and cars passing by
Like a big ball of chaos and aching pain irritating your ears
A beautiful soul woke up with this horrifying sight 
And thought : what a great day to do the same task

His heart was his alone, dancing in the cold breeze, his footsteps following the same rhythm
Until the rain washed away his graffiti 
And the heart that was his, lost all its yellow light
Just like that, just like the weather 
Coming and going
And never to be seen again
