Diaphanous.

She lived in a world
That didn't feel like home
More like a tent
That they'd pack up any day now

Effervescent.
They found their arms full of time
And they ran along the street
Throwing it to the wind

You see, for days
The sky had been falling

Well, not falling,
But slowly sliding down
Along the buildings
Weighing down the trees

Suffocating them
Because they were lost.
The sky always told her
Where she was

Today, on the other hand,
The haze lifted off and away
Gone like a breath
Leaving brilliance and glare

She bundled up
And watched the atmosphere light on fire
Those ships took off
And away, away

Someday she'd fly
Cut through the sky and into the stars
They would leave this world behind

Until then,
Into the tent and wait
Warmth pinched at her face
And she held tightly.
