Cruising With the Sky

By duskfall, I cruise with the sky, 
throwing life’s pebbles unto ripples
of yearning… and she lifts her veil against
the moist air fondling the blue of night

unto my pale meadow…she whispers
before an interlude, refreshing my senses;
a warm potion to my languid thoughts
and pierced refrains, delicately whisking 

shadows and cluttered notes: her luster 
bequeathing new facets of hue
and a gleam for sweet beginnings
reaching for my wet skin with a melody

like a passage from tear's soundtracks,
then to grasp my wish on her halo.
Laying on columns of grass, I rise
to feel the sky cruising with me in the meadow.

I am drawn to a pensive kind of sadness in this poem, yet the sky like a symbol, keeps you grounded. The way the images come together is like a form of music. Nette, I was holding on to every line!
