NCIS: Forever Cloaked

Forever Cloaked

Tonight, the sky has taken on

A different approach.

No fanfare,

No remaining sunlight,

No endless parade of colors.

No happiness.

No, the sky does not tolerate these things.

Does not need them.

Cannot need them.

It wants nothing more than to be left alone.

So it pulls a gray blanket

Up to its chin

And falls asleep

With a dysfunctional,

Fully healthy,

But empty,

Heart.

And the world will be

Forever cloaked

In dimmed light

As the sky observes

Tired of the life it lives.
