Chris Green Poet Free verse

Embracing the Sky

~

Here I stand
in a lonely field
of prairie grass
and dandelion
watching
faint ribbons
of apricot break
across a weary
horizon

And as I see
the enchanting
beauty of the 
morning sun
embracing the sky,
my heart wishes
I were that sun
and you were
that sky
