The sun begins to set, and the street lights encompass the town, it’s always pretty but at night it seems unmatched. Well until you look up, how the stars twinkle and the sky seems endless. It will be lovely to one day remain up there enternally watching the city below ....

Im lonely,

I wake up in the morning and feel dark,

I need a light,

Click! Click!

I take a deep breath,

Inhallllle…

And out

That feels so good

My head feels clear

The thoughts i had before have gone again.

I wont do anything practical but atleast my heads in a good place,

I think my heads in a good a place,

Inhalllllle….

Im definitely in a good place.

My light goes out

Where’s the smoke

My head...

Sunset was the best time of day. The time when you can imagine the smog was just clouds drifting by. And on my swing I could fly above it all, like the birds of old.

A hand came down on my head. “Does your Papa know you’re here, piccolina?”

I looked up at my cousin. Unlike me he wasn’t wearing a respirator. But the smog didn’t seem to bother him. Instead he breathed normally.

Frowning, I ...

I’ve been here since birth. Some refer to us as ‘the Cloud People’ or ‘Sky People’. In reality, we’re neither. We’re just like the rest of them on the ground, humans. Except our commander, Commander William, believes that it is safer up here then on the ground.

You see, when the Commander was around 12 years of age, a nuclear power plant went off near his house. His parents passed leaving him...

Maria, like a light in a dark tunnel

I seek you, before it’s too late

Maria, like a bird in the sky

I capture you before evil gets you into a cage

Maria, like a flower blossoming into its bloom

I’d like to water you so you won’t die anytime soon

Maria, like a feeling I get within my spirit

It motivates me to go beyond my limit

Maria, like an angel from heaven

A kiss from you, I close my...

His metallic limbs rusted faster then he could’ve understood. The gripping vines entangled his arms, forcing them upwards, as he lay against a large stone. His eyes flickered rapidly, as if stuck in a limbo in of activated and deactivated. If he wasn’t careful, one wrong step and he would’ve fallen off the mountain. Fortunately for the robot, he would never take another step.

His once shiny body ...

Back and forth like a rocking horse

Higher and higher till the clouds are gone

Whistling winds screech pass me

My grip only tightens now

Although I see no sun today

The city is what only grounds me

To the reality of my little city

Children run seeking shelter

A kindly store owner lets them enter

Dust scatters the blazing crowds

Voice call from above and under

From trinkets ...

High above the city I sit

The world on display for me to see

New perspective

Things that seem so big shrink from this vantage point

Getting lost in the mundane seems so silly

I share this world with others

With people I agree with and many I don't

We must find common ground I know you don't hate me

But you hate some who agree with me

What makes me different

High above the city none of this matter...

I wish I could be high above the city

You know when I look around

At all the blood and hate

The dirty lies being told

I wish I could zoom out

And sit on the clouds.

No one here is listening

We are dying

And the worst part?

We are killing ourselves.

We know the solutions, we have all the answers

Yet somehow everyone here has decided

To fight and bathe in ignorance.

How about rather than “blue or ...

The swing groaned

Its rusty chains making a kind of sad, rattling sound

I watched the city from the swing, a blur of motion and noise

And it felt like the swing was trying to keep up, like it was trying to tell a story

I often wondered what happened down there

Why the whole city was in chaos and why was i brought up here to hide

These are questions i constantly trouble myself with

"This is ...
