Louisiana Sky

The theory is
drops of water
collected on dust

What I see is
a brilliant mix
of sky and earth

The bluest blue water
the greenest green grass
the blackest black dirt

Earth rising up
ties the heavens
to the ground

Waves of energy
tumble down
purging tainted lands

The healing power
of Louisiana sky
washes the past away
