I wish I was able to paint the sky

The way the night remains

During those cold winter mornings

Whereas it lights up

At the edges

While the stars 

And the moon

Guide me the way.

I wish I was able to paint the sky

The way pink flows into a sunny orange

Just to finally transform into a light blue

In the months of summer

While the sun fills

Every fiber of my being.

I wish I was able to paint the sky,

How sometimes 

when the sun goes down,

There's an encounter between

The dark lilac clouds

And the cotton candy sky

And I feel like I'm able to jump 

On ever single cloud passing by.

I wish I was able to paint the sky,

The way the dark clouds start

Gathering from east to west

Until they spin

Faster and faster and faster

When suddenly a loud thunder

Cuts the silence

And I feel like the world is

Closing in on me.

I wish I was able to paint the sky

How the sun comes through

After hours of rain

And carefully peeks out

Just to make sure

Everything is in the right place,

That it's the right time

And then the way the sunbeams

Fill up the sky,

Little rays finding their way 

Through the dark clouds.

I wish I was able to paint the sky,

Because I feel like

It teaches me so much

While being nothing 

Or everything more

Than just simple

Changes in weather. 

-Go out there and let it guide you. Find a life of your own.
