Desolate sky

I walked upon earth's ground
Found things to be so spacious and wide
Everything was silent
Not a rustling of a leaf
Even though breezes blew
I felt alone but content
Wished the wind would carry me away
It did not lift me
I looked, the sky was dreary
So different, so vast
Like a dream left to die
I found my soul so heavy
Wished again
Wind take me afar
It did not
Hope sprang anew
I left it standing there
