Does The Sky Have Feelings Too?

Is it possible for the sky to have feelings?
I would almost swear
that it is....

Yesterday, I looked up to the
flowing river of silky white clouds
as I lay on my back,
And I thought that the sky looked
as if it were extremely happy
and full of jubilation.
It was like it was telling me
to enjoy the day while it lasted,
because it sure was enjoying itself....

This morning, through the
dirty rectangle of a window on my bus,
the sky looked as if it were tired
like it wasn’t a morning person.
I understand.
The sky was a dull gray like dreary eyes
and there were almost no clouds in sight;
as if the sky hadn’t quite gotten dressed yet....

Now, it’s raining
very hard as if the sky’s lover
has left it and it’s heart has been shattered.
The sky lurking above the downpour
is almost black,
hiding lightning just around
the corner.
I hope the lightning
and it’s horrid thunder
doesn’t rip it’s way
across the canvas of the sky;
Because I think the sky
has been hurt enough already....

Very well done. I believe the sky does represent feelings and moods and you described some of them well. Now, if only the gods would stop bowling every time there's lightning.........
