The sky is falling
She loudly proclaims
Everyone listens
And runs away
Faces hide afraid of the sky
Debris might harm us
“Don’t go outside,”
She warns, “Don’t go outside”
Nothing changes
Still is the night
People begin to creep into daylight
Letting go of their initial fright
A breath of fresh air does everyone right
This woman returns with her frantic voice
Pounding on doors with a forceful might
Warning the city dwellers of
The rising tide
“The water won’t recede this time,
So run and hide.
Run and hide.”
When asked why her warnings never come true
She sits there crying distorting her view
Of the glorious sunrise coloring the moon
Some walk away, others join her mood.
But this community never feels true.
If only she believed in her own life
She might release her bags
And walk into the sunlight.
Walk into the sunlight, my sad friend
Walk into the sunlight
And begin again
