The Sky Is Crying

The sky is crying… Like a gentle southern rain, Falling, pouring, pounding out a beat In rhythm with the memories, The tunes of forever that we played, History’s not winning, though…. The sky is crying… Like the storms across the night, Silencing the stars and moon with yearnings Trembling echoes who blow away the Hopes, the dreams, the pent up feelings Bleeding like forever calling… The sky is crying… Like a burning bridge in the distance, Reminding with a sigh that wherever I turn There are passions burning, fading Beneath clear, soft showers, drizzling Storms releasing forever… The sky is crying… There is silence in every direction My faith is yearning, quivering beneath The presence of a memory, a burden Left to make me believe – to remember Forever is still waiting… Somewhere, the sky is crying tears of joy Because, despite the pain, there has been More to gain in the shuddering remains… Forever, I pray… still changes the rain To the clearest sunny day – still, I will never Turn you awayyyyyyyyyyyyyy This poem was originally intended for this contest: Stevie Ray Vaughan Inspiration Poetry Contest Song Inspiration: The Sky is CRYING Sponsored by: Robert James Liguori May 13, 2023 But the sponsor deleted the original contest so... here is an oddball poem!
