Freckled Sky

Lilia Hassan

The sky is looking different today

The clouds are dotted in a way

I glanced up high and saw,

nothing but a freckled sky.

They look like small pieces of cotton candy

floating in the air,

like shattered glass,

shaken with fear.

I lay down on the soft grass

As the clouds made patterns in the sky.

So much comfort, have I felt

My eyes were sleepy, so I slept,

I slept and slept

and moments passed

But finally, I wake up.

With dull eyes, the sky no longer felt bright

It took me seconds to realise

that it's night.
