The Bay
Skyler Latshaw
The moon and the stars are
High above us, like the sun during the day.
You and I are together dear,
And therefore that is how we shall stay.
Put on your dancing shoes
And we’ll walk by the bay.
Once I was full of sorrow
Oozing out my ears and down my back.
Then you came and smiled at me
And gave my lips a big smack.
Since I was conceived
My life hasn’t been luckier than that.
As a matter of fact
Sitting down I can think back
To a time where skies were not so black
Where the sun shown through the crack.
And I thought.
