Today I looked up
And tilted my head
What did I find?
A single blue thread
I reached up my hand
And closed my fingers around
This soft blue thread,
And brought it to the ground
But this thread didn’t end
It kept coming down
So I pulled and pulled
Until the sky drowned
The cool vivid blues
Turned to warm calm grays
And I kept pulling
The thread all-day
Until it piled ‘round me
And circled where I stood
I wanted to pull the sky down
And if I could
I would
So I kept a pullin’
Till the sky was no more
I had defeated the sky
I had won the war
So I went a yellin’
“I took down the sky!”
But the people around me
Started to cry:
How could you?
You monster.
You took it away!
From these words
I started to sway
“I did it”
I whispered
As tears fell from my eyes
Knees sank to ground
Covered with skies
And I tried to look up
But what did I see?
No sky was there
So I had to agree
It’s my fault
It is
I’ll take the blame
I pulled on the sky
And down it came
Down on the ground
I wiped my face and sighed
It wasn’t enough
But at least I tried
And tilted my head
What did I find?
A single blue thread
I reached up my hand
And closed my fingers around
This soft blue thread,
And brought it to the ground
But this thread didn’t end
It kept coming down
So I pulled and pulled
Until the sky drowned
The cool vivid blues
Turned to warm calm grays
And I kept pulling
The thread all-day
Until it piled ‘round me
And circled where I stood
I wanted to pull the sky down
And if I could
I would
So I kept a pullin’
Till the sky was no more

So I went a yellin’
