Abide

I was blinded by the sky today
it stared at me, 
without a blink,
so I did the same,
just to avoid missing 
the very moment, 
when it would speak about you.
But it fooled me:
it took away my sight
ousted the breath of my soul
far, far away
and uncoupled me 
from the hope of the living.
But I still remained,
stayed to listen to the wind,
asked the sun to swallow me
and prayed for you 
to recognize me this way.
