Sky, What Are You?

The grazing sheep in blue 
The puffs of white breath
The Simpsons’ scene
The artist’s wrath 

The floating dream
The anger of Zeus
The funnels and swirls
The nightingale’s muse

The daydreamer’s playground
The shepherd’s delight
The picture taker’s bait
The Milky Way night

The poet with honey
The rumbles and clap
The astronaut’s gate 
The mariner’s map

The loved ones in heaven
The drink for the land
The drought’s call of death
The home of God’s hand
