Destiny in the Periwinkle Sky

Two people 

Different past 

But still in this moment they are looking at the periwinkle haze of the Japan sky 

With breath-taking architecture 

With the city lights bright like stars

They don’t talk, they just look 

Enjoying the view and the company of each other 

The pine trees swaying back and forth as the wind flows 

They city air filling the atmosphere

In the embrace of each other 

Just viewing in peace 

Hearts in a symphony 

Not romantic just plationic 

Different paths 

Families would hate them being in this moment 

Lik fire and water

But yet still in the same space 

Just the wind of embrace 

Now they see face to face 

“This is our destiny.”  

A feeling like no other 

They see the tiny buildings 

Skyscrapers, 

Scattered amongst the land below 

“What if this isn’t our destiny? What if they found out?” They said 

“If they do, it happens, like this foggy sky it will past. Yet, me and you are here in the moment forever. Together.” He said 

As they lay their head on his shoulder 

They made a promise 

“Infinity right?” 

They agreed” 

The periwinkle haze still blocking the sun 

The traffic lights just turned green 

The city lamps flashed like a blinding utensil 

They laughed as they got startled by a tree branch 

“Yea, this our destiny.”
