Sky writing

If I can write of love
Send it to the sky
Spill words like pastel ink
Reams of cloud sheets filled
To overflowing with the passion
Of life
Of dreams
The rain of verse would fall
And blur the words
Showering down on the world below
Lost in the hair
Of a passerby
Drip by drip falling
To the earth below,
A puddle full
Emotion ripples spread
With a dip of the toe,
Slipping away to the ocean deep
And evaporated back to the waiting clouds
Delivery sent
Returned
Silently held for but a short while,
Tucked away for another rainy day
Special delivery
Kept and cherished.

Search for a piece of joy
Laughter of silent moment lost
Closing the shutters
On another dark night.
Sleep protrudes
In and out
Of restless minds madness,
Solitude lost.
To find comfort
In a thousand yellow petals
The words of a hundred poems
Soft and gentle
Taste of peace
Long denied.
It is here on this side of light
Mouth closed to the poison
Bitter pills best served cold
When the warmth of sun finds
A thought lost
In itself
A day brings forth
Itself through mist
Understanding the colors
Of the rising sun
Through the haze of grey.
