The sky holds up

The sky holds up

All the shades of pink

Streaks that glow

And hearts that sink

 

The sky holds up

I never had to hide

Every thought I send

Finds a spot up high

 

The sky holds up

It’s end of the bargain

As long as I am grounded

It doesn’t ask me to explain

 

It always holds up

I never doubt the expanse

And I will always find hope

Just looking up by chance.
