Skyward

I have envied the sky for long,
   and loved it at the same time
here, there are people who are
      just like me

we were chasing for its contours
    in its hue and depth, endless gradients
        falling in love with the colors
            believing that sunlight has a flavor


when the light rose and sleep,
   we were swayed by the moonshine
       with the mighty song of cicadas,
           in the middle of summer

we were capturing, and meanwhile
    being captivated. we were so far...
         but never felt any closer
