Oh Skies

Oh skies let me touch you
Give me an assurance that tomorrow
Shall be a sunny day;
Give me a little sign
That after all this disillusionment
I shall live in your umbrella

Oh skies smile at me
Do not you sulk at me;
My soul is cold, my heart is hurt-
A smile and I shall get warm
A smile and I shall feel wonderful,
Oh skies.

Oh skies give me a hope to live on
So when the world
Shall break under my feet
I shall call you to my rescue
I shall call you to my help
Oh skies give me the hope to live on.

Oh skies keep me in your watch
So whenever I do stray
To limits forbidden by natural law

Oh skies let me be yours,
My soul, my heart, all I give you.

I think you should look at the form kryielle, it's a form which uses repetition [as you have] and calls to mind prayer...I think this would be an excellent kyrielle with some tweaking, as you know I LOVE starting lines with "Oh," to me it shows JOY. Light & Love

When I am feeling down or destitute, Honesty, I often look to the skies and engage in a conversation with God to seek guidance. Nice work! Love, Carolyn

Excellent metaphoric language or personification.. The anguish that you presented drew me in and held me..I was encouraged by your presence at my work..Sara
