The Cloudless Sky: Blue

  • Apr 20, 2018

A cloudless sky. It’s been a while Since the expanse above stretched endlessly blue, No wisp of cloud or mark in sight, Just blue, Light blue: Azure.

How long has it been since the sky glowed like this? Pure, Not grey, Not musty, Not white and covered So that we cannot see what lies above- Just a blanket of cloud and white.

But not today. Today: A veil of blue, So high that it feels we could never touch it, Never reach it, Never pass it. Stretching on forever, Always just out of reach and ever further, Unlike the clouds we know and see each day that cover and smother us closely- Confining, Blocking, Hiding the pure expanse from view.

But not today. This cloudless sky- It has been a while Since this blue.

Today I have been thinking about the spring, waiting eagerly for it to appear full bloom, bringing with it warmth, sunshine, and beautiful growth.

She Dances with the Breeze

She dances with the breeze, This friend of mine, Eyes radiant with the joy of life, Of music; This melody that enchants her heart And my vision As I watch from my place beneath the sun.


If there were leaves, I believe they would dance with her. Twisting around her on an unseen spiralling air current. It would not surprise me had she conjured this summer air herself, From the pure bliss in her soul as she circles the trees.


Does fabric tumble like that? I’d never known. Flickering in the air and around her feet, Her legs, Her shoulders…


This smile- When did it look so bright as now? It fills her face, her being, And then mine too as I smile with her, As I look at her dancing amongst the sun and sky With this hidden music unique to only her, Pulsing within her heart and her spirit And thus letting her dance with the breeze- With an unparalleled ease.


Skipping, turning, jumping, swaying; Enchanting my sight as I swear to commit this To eternal memory: My friend, As she dances with the breeze.
