I Longed For a Sky Today

I longed for a sky today, bright and pleasant, sparkling after a rainy day
I longed for daybreak with a gusty wind, with a lot to follow today.

I touched the drops of rain that  keep on pouring in my dream
Those droplets reached the dry soil, and I sensed their tremendous whim.

I longed for  a rose-scented envelope, with a letter inside that has a lot to say
Telling me of more rain to come, wiping all those tears of a fearful sky in dismay.

I folded the sky, to calm her down, before getting too loud or noisy
Listen, pretty sky! Listen to me! You need to see a lot, my little daisy!

I imagine now; little footsteps will knock at the doorway soon
Happy and tired faces with a long story of a day, with a blessing and boon.

I could tell you a thousand of those dreams, with a thousand to come
With new rain of hope and aspiration that startles, but stays for none.
