Sun lit the clouds on fire
Their tender bellies all ablaze
Outrun the rebel sky
To conquer the horizon
Extinguished with the night
We burried bright and golden rays
Before the moon defied
A company of shadows
The particles collide
Ephemeral electric seams
Divide the atmosphere
They reach to touch the surface
But when the dawn replies
Rekindled by the Phoenix beams
Sun fires reappear
Atop the distant curtains
And I split the rebel sky
In a violent forward thrust
Until heaven opened wide
For a caravan of us
In the dying afternoon
Bathed in copper-toned resolve
We were bigger than the sky
And we painted it with love
Mmmm. I just want to read this over and over until forever.
Thank you kindly. You honor me too much
Not enough.
rebel sky..and then painting it with love…this whole last stanza is breath-taking
Aw thank you very much π
Skiesssss, beautiful poems π
π thank you!
here i see the changing pattern of day and night. the contrasting difference in the situations. the sky changes, directed by sun and moon. there can be different interpretations for who are the “we” but i love them to be humans, humans are capable of spreading love and they should.
I often feel dwarfed by the power of nature, and yet I can do things it cannot. It is a delicate balance–the fragile organisms in a volatile environment tangled in a battle for superiority…or perhaps tangled in an unspoken romance of beauty.
Thank you
Worthy of a triple take at least! Wonderful use of words I agree with Claudia the last stanza was breath-taking
You’re too kind π
I don’t think I am kind enough my words cannot express how heartfelt and amazing your words were
I appreciate your encouragement. It’s always helpful to know it means something to someone else. It helps me keep writing π
