Cries of Skies

as if a broken-hearted lover
this somber sky cries
streams of tears 

i feel its loneliness
beating like a heart
against my window 

I hear its sob
through a pained wind 
as it echoes 
in the distance 

i look out 
its misted grief 
my disbelief 
of better days 

longing again
to see it rise 
then fall like love
blushed in crimson hues 


Bus scribble

You turned the sky into a living, breathing heroine, with whom this reader identified. Amazing, Sandy! Keep 'scribbling!!' :) gw

Thank you Kim...I couldn't tell you the last time I saw a pretty sunrise or sunset...seems we have more gray skies and rain than anything for months now... any sun we get comes between the rise and set so there is no color... I am with you on that... hugs

Wonderful imagery of a rainy day--I hear the loneliness beating--and echoes of pained wind--beautiful as always, Sandy.

Beautiful, sad but so wonderfully written. Your bus scribbles would make anyone wonder why they drive a car or truck. Seriously, your words are always so beautiful my friend. Sigh...
