Up is the ceiling of the sky.

Stars hanging from the ceiling as planes fly by.

The planes are avoiding the stars as they hang.

The wind starts to gain and push the clouds away.

The chill starts to stay and creeps it’s way across the dying day.

The sun will keep away, as the night begins to play it’s darkening song to the dying day.
