Floating In The Sky

Birds sing above me
Their wings helping them to fly
Floating in the sky

The chirps fill the air
Sounding handmade just for me
Floating in the sky

The clouds white and pure
Looking like cotton candy
Floating in the sky

A plane flies through them
Their wings cutting like a blade
Floating in the sky

It leaves behind smoke
Blackened exhaust hits the birds
Floating in the sky

The birds do not stop
They show no hesitation
Floating in the sky

The smoke away
As if it was never there
Floating in the sky

But we all saw it
We saw it darken the blue
Floating in the sky

Yet we look away
Ignoring the obvious
Floating in the sky
