Secrets And the Sky

 The sky is our past.

It holds the light 

Of millions of years ago.

The sky needs a few thousand years 

To tell us what actually happened;

So we have to show the sky our patience.

That means the sky will live longer; 

No, the sky will always live.

And the sky we will always love -

Its beautiful canvas 

That changes its shade constantly 

In the morning, lit by the blaze of the sun 

In the evening, streaked with beautiful 

Pink and orange 

In the night, the moon reflecting the sun 

And dotted by miniscule stars.

Sometimes punctuated by 

The much elegant but bubbly clouds 

But the speciality of the night sky 

Is that it exhibits ancient starlight.

It takes time to open up 

And sometimes, not all secrets are 

Meant to be shared. 

But all secrets will be revealed one day 

Even if a thousand years later.
