Songs of a Dark Dawn

Yesterday we 
caught rainbows and 
      we learned 
  that the waters 
     of time 
               may leave 
us high and dry
       Does it bother 
you to learn 
     that our cool 
eyes have turned 
                inwards
Does it bother you 
        to know 
   that ice and steam 
  are opposites?
Well - dance with 
          me
on  clouds 
  Kiss me as we
watch  
      the moons 
   circling the planets 
This solar system is our home!

Thank you for sharing this dance on the clouds, Matthew. Love the images of the bodies that comprise our "solar system." Very nice writing!
