Today sky denies the existence of blue
inherent within its magnitude
because it can’t see beyond the pain,
beyond the hope that once went away,
and beyond a need for lovers in meet  
to upward smile in grateful release.  

Shrouded by clouds it awaits a new day
silent, alone, in this present time frame
wanting and needing a touch of acceptance
to dispel the gloom now barring its view
while earth unperturbed turns, turns again.

I can’t stop the spin to stand still and stare
because life demands more than wistfulness
but I carry within a lifeline for sky
to reach out and grab and closet to heart
whenever it feels the time is just right.

Tomorrow perhaps blue sky in review
will be done with its slide into gray
and blue will again be my companion
on my re-entry into renewal
but no one can read the sky’s faraway mind
and I wait for the blue, the awesome blue,
to smile downward its pleasure on me ~
because I waited, you see, through all of the gray
with belief in the blue always stable and true!

Scattered clouds, broken promises
of a blue today.
Hinder, but do not block
rays, weak at first, but growing stronger
for a sunnier tomorrow.

I loved this poem. thank you for allowing me to read. xx

farewell the ash-tray girl
