Sky

Sky was talking to me at the break of dawn, told me to forget all about myself, even if for a 
while.
Cotton clouds became my friends, fairies i have known all my life...was delighted to see 
them, 
time had frozen and memories of a different time were all but shadows.
Caught the moon staring at me... soothing, like freedom freed from the chains of instability.
Sky was painted crimson,  pure and expressionless....motionless, i stood still...surrounded by 
purity...monotony,
i was alone....we were alone....locked up in that moment...expressions lost in time.....
i felt empty, like a feather with nothing to wish for....nothing i wanted anymore.....
This was another world, cold as ice....a vacuum which can not be filled...
we stood in silence,
words were not necessary anymore.
I was drowning in the spell....unknown emotions...captured by magic and alone to surrender 
in vain.
it hypnotized me, scared me surprisingly.....taking me to a state of hysteria...
until i was flying....free, cold and calm....until i closed my eyes and made a vow to never 
look at the sky again.

A thought-provoking poem for sure, Randy. While looking at the sky, I feel a sense of calmness that comes (I think) from realizing we are but specks in the universe. Part of a grander plan. Interesting how you went from hysteria to calmness. Captivating poem! Love, Carolyn
