Big Beautiful Sky

The sky matched his mood
wisps of clouds
floating across his mind
monochrome memories
like old laundry
strung up on a line
he pictures a bright colored flower
in the corner of his mind
he reaches out to touch her
and the essence that abounds

This feels like a gentle window into someone's inner world, and it's beautifully felt and written. I love the imagery here. Comparing faded memories to old laundry on a line is a brilliantly grounded, relatable metaphor. It makes the sudden burst of colour and the desire for connection at the end feel so much more powerful. The longing in those final lines is palpable, and it deserves to be read with the same gentleness and sincerity you put into writing it. One of your best. <3
