The Clouds Came Out
The clouds are out today
The trees are yellow and the sky is pink
The world becomes unridged for a day
The flowers are able to sigh
Trees able to breathe
Frogs able to run
Boys able to cry
The world was black and white for a day
We saw no color
Only shadows
The world was silent for a day
We heard no noise
Finally understood what they meant
The world slept for a day
Those who lay awake were free
The animals were gone for a day
And so there was no one
The plants stopped just making oxygen and started breathing it
The world switched directions
And as we spun this new way
People began to fall of the edge
