I LOOKED AT THE SKY


I looked at the sky, and found it looking at me
a speck on the earth amidst humanity
and from above a formless voice 
rang out words true
Don't seize the moment, let the moment seize you
I looked at the sky, but it was looking at me
Beckoning with white fingers stretched across a sea
Echoes I heard around me
the voice had this to say
Your play will become work lest your work become your play
I looked at the sky, but I swear the sky looked at me
and as I looked up expectantly
The last riddle revealed itself
final words unravel
Take time to travel or your time will take travel
