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.
