We threw our glittering hopes into the sky,
Knowing that the hidden sun would catch them
To paint the clouds with vibrant rays.
We spread our darkest fears across the blue surround
Knowing that the mountains would keep them
To drape the ridges with mournful smoke.
Some removed masks that covered their faces.
Some donned masks to become who they were.
Everyone could be seen.
Soon we return to our different lands.
Most will live in some sort of shadow,
Careful of how to appear.
In our unguarded moments we look at the sky,
Yearning to glimpse a rainbow.
