Another day has went
the sky painted across in streams of colors
like a canvas
darkness quickly settles in
blanketing the Earth
yet still people are out and about
walking, running, biking, driving
moving in multiple ways
all to get somewhere
all to get to someone
maybe to a family member who smiles so big when greeting
maybe to a significant other whose presence brings warmth
maybe to a pet whose companionship offers comfort
maybe to no one but empty walls and the sound of their own thoughts
yet- to somewhere or someone
people never stop to notice those passing by
or notice the way the Earth continues on its rotation no matter how much chaos is unfolding
maybe if people stopped focusing on the objective
they’d enjoy the painted sky more, the blanketed sky and the people who are so often overlooked
