Our City In the Sky

It was a long time ago
In a city in the sky
I remember those days so vividly
The future was bright
And fear was forgotten
But that all simply changed
Overnight

When the darkness fell
And the sky broke down
The turmoil and storm rushed through
Tearing down our grandeur clouds
Destroying our celestial moon
City in the sky
Oh barrow in the sky

We few escaped in tears
On the backs of our winged horses
And we soared into the starry night
Destined to be forever wanderers
Away from our world
And never again 
Did we see
Our city in the clouds

This is sad Grace but such a whimsical tale in poetic form. Nicely done.
