Dreaming

Background Music: Aerodynamics by Daft Punk (ironically enough!)

A large canvas hangs above my head. I glance at it tentatively and watch it sway under my glance. I blink repeatedly and continuing walking, but it never fails to leave me, a large curtain blanketing me. It is the large expanse, the waves and seas raging above us, that we have named the sky. It has perplexed generations with its unpredictable tears alternating with its blinding, dizzying lights. Adults look up and implore the sky for answers; children stare up at it and create the sky's atlas, filled with galloping horses instantly moulding itself into flying fairies.

I often wonder if I would reach the corner of the world and touch the sky as it meets the sea, just like in 'The Truman Show'. Yet, its true endlessness captivates my soul. Looking up at it now, I wonder if it is just a bulk of lifelessness which humanity has personified. But for me, it will always be more -- a painting I can never photograph; a juxtaposition of change and permanence.
