SECRETS OF THE EVENING SKY
The quiet evening sky
Holds secrets of unnamed people,
Echoes of the screams of some named people.
The colourful evening sky
Keeps memories of unfulfilled dreams.
The vast evening sky
Has many stories to tell
Of those who refused to waver
From their path, knowing it is perilous,
Knowing life is but a fleeting moment.
The evening sky is witness to it all
It has secrets to keep
