Something Of The Sky

There is something of the sky in you,
a haze of blue just at the edge of things,
as if you were part of the horizon
but somehow near and real....

An essential skyness, a something
that is other than I am, somehow higher,
real and surreal together, a sibilant light
not to be touched by ordinary hands....

Yet I reach up, see my hands against the sky,
the sun, clouds shimmering through my fingers
as from my vantage I do touch, and touching
my hands are blessed, not ordinary any more....

So I reach, and
there is something of the sky in you....

The scattered light creating blue hues, much like the patterns of life ~ this poem has a magical quality that reflects the enchantment of love. Enjoyed this!

beautifully done.....there is something of the sky....

I came from the mountain

I can't imagine your hands ever being ordinary... not when they can create such beauty as this.

You've painted a beautiful horizon on the edge of the sky, James_A~
