The Sky Moves Sideways

They asked me what I believed,

I told them to look at the skies.

But they couldn't see what I saw,

Despite the blindness in my eyes.

They told me I was a fool

For the skies were never there.

I laughed as they gazed upon stars;

Enraptured, entranced, ensnared.

I knew it was all made for me,

Despite all the nonchalant clouds.

A drop of doubt in a cask of belief,

I paused for a moment, wondering aloud,

"Are you there? Can you hear me?

Will you ever answer my call?"

The skies held no answers for me

But were there any answers at all?

The sun shone brighter on days

And the rains stormed through.

The sky moved sideways,

I paused as empty winds blew,

"Are you there? Don't you hear me?

Do you care to answer my call?"

But the sky moved sideways,

Never caring at all.

Longing meaning, I saw the stars

Past a sky that seemed an illusion.

In fear, I shut off the sight

Even though that was the solution.

And the sun shone bright on days,

The rains just stormed through.

The skies offered no reason,

I began to wonder if I could choose.

Others told me to believe

In a sky that had been given.

"Lightning will strike from heaven,"

Claiming that if I didn't.

And others pointed to the stars

Beyond the sky I had chosen,

"Don't you see the universe?

The sky eats the beauty you live in."

The sun shines bleak today,

The storm cascades on a dark eve.

My clouds hide away sinful stars

And I make my sky answer me.

They asked me what I believed,

I told them about my skies.

But they'll never see what I've seen

Despite the blindness in my eyes.
