FIRE IN THE SKY

Sunrise
There's a fire in the sky
Burning horizon,
I see you, your eyes
Molten thoughts
And you rise proud.
The flaming cloud
Hides a nakedness,
As your delicate feet
Tiptoe on silken water.
I see you, your form
The thunder, the storm,
Shattering illusions
Caressing the heavens
With a promise.
Kissed,
Blessed,
The day belongs to you.
Colours abound,
Natures Michael Angelo
The world his easel.
The sky his chapel,
One sky,
A glint in the eye.
Sunset,
Its last hurrah
Stretching forth
Clinging, sinking into the abyss.
Streamers of a blazing dream
Pull at your heart,
Forget me not it pleads
The seed of the sun is planted
In all of us.
The light goes out
The colours die.
Just the faded memory
Of the sky.
