sky writing

Comes a time that the blue of

the sky meets the blue of the mood,

comes a day when we don’t 

write it down, the measures

that we keep for comfort, 

the wishes that we lose

among the clouds, the stars

lost to constellations, the moon

always changing its mind.

Still, I sit and stare

overwhelmed or unaware as 

the crows take wing or the sun

cedes the heights, noting

the spread of the stratus and

the accumulated cumulus,

light leaking out of heaven.

The words always waiting 

there in the firmament on high:

lift your chin, look up.
