Rest in peaceA Poem by LanaA 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
