Skyline Dreams

so breathe in, and scream out

into this orange dusk sky with me.

we’ll conquer these clouds with our lungs

out here in this vast, open field.

we can see for miles across this skyline

and it takes our breath away;

just like the first time we felt this way.

like a grain of sand compared to the heavens,

yet so incredibly infinite.

in every direction we see sky meeting earth;

the horizon is stretching all the way to forever

and calling us out to run along it,

just to see how close we can get.

so we’ll dance along the line

between here and infinity,

super-novas exploding into

tiny stars under our feet,

as we witness the births of new galaxies.

this life seems to be merely fantasy,

there’s stars as far as our eyes can see,

dusk turned to dark

and you’re next to me,

breathing in the horizon

and whispering, "we’re free,"

your words float into the night

on a warm, ethereal breeze,

much like the last ones of summer

before the air begins to freeze.

it grazes both of our cheeks

like ecstasy...

swiftly we breathe, and we’re sitting comfortably

on the edge of the earth that was born

from that breathtaking skyline...
