Shadows cross the sky,

Passing time for you and I,

We lay her on the ground and stare,

Seeing what we see up there.

Our thoughts are scattered,

Logic shattered,

Only focused on this moment

As we think on what we meant.

Shapes appear then dissipate,

Caught in battle much like fate.

Some are light and some are dark,

All of them will leave a mark

On passing time and turning tides.

One skips across then runs and hides,

Another saunters lazily,

While that one struggles crazily.

Suddenly the shadows fade,

A breeze an open pathway made-

Stairsteps to the stars above,

Hearts are floating filled with love.

The clear blue sky shines out,

But all I can do is pout.

Beside me he stands to his feet,

Fist to sky he tries to meet

"The game was fun" he shouts,

"Making mischief out of clouds."

I smile from my place below,

Where we'll go, I'll never know.
