When the heavens put up a show

While here on earth
Life seems to be at a standstill
Calm, serene, unmoving, immovable
Stagnant
Stuck in our comfort zones,
Stuck in our rigid routines
Completely unaware of the world outside the world we created for ourselves
If we stop to take a moment
And just look at the skies
You see the heavens rallying for us
Swiftly, smoothly the clouds race by
Completely unobserved by our ignorant eyes.
This act of beauty is not reserved for meteorologists or scientists alone.
But we fail to look up
To pause our busy life
To observe a moment that'll never return
To see the clouds scurry past each other
I wonder if those wisps of vapour whisper amongst themselves
About how blissfully unaware a human race we are
They call for our attention
They grow grayer and darker
They thunder mysteriously
A sudden stroke of lightening sends a bolt through our hearts
Finally we look up to the heavens
While they bless us with little pearls of happiness.
We looked up in time for the final act but missed the rest of the show.
