In Closing For months, clouds went missing. Sky pined for them, for a time before Sun’s cruelty sent Fire’s dirty tongue to lick green from hillsides. Fire left only ashes and Devil’s eau de toilette -- gifts laid at Sky’s painted feet. Sky thought she’d explode into song, when seasons gave way to cleansing, but now that Rain has come, Sky questions the darkness of day and oppressive blanketing of gray as if Dawn refuses to rise. Sky senses a silent grief like a tree knows when to die. [This message has been edited by Corinne (11-08-2004 04:48 PM).] |

but now that Rain has come, she questions the darkness of day and oppressive weight of gray. Like the final Dawn, she intrinsically senses silent grief, Love the way you write ma'am.... |

It has been too long since I've read you... this had such a mystical wisdom quality to it--shamanic. Very much enjoyed, C. |
