Sky
I wish I believed in clouds,
but I've never seen them fly.
I wish I believed in birds,
But I've never heard their goodbyes.
I wish I believed in angels but I've never felt their wings and sighed.
I wish I believed in aliens
but I've never flown their craft.
I wish I believed in God
But I've never tasted his aftermath.
I wish I believed in rain
But I've never felt a rainy bath.
I wish I believed in mind
But I've never been picked up on a sonograph.
I wish I believed in belief
But I've never even learnt math.
