The Sky Spoke

Purple red plum sky tore open the morning as I looked 
eastward rubbing my bloodshot eyes

It is times like these, I thought, in the past that
 would have invoked tortured cries

The unique feeling of being 
alone at this hour

Gave credence to my soul, drawing 
on some kind of power

I watched as the clouds softly 
dappled my view

Wiping tears from my eyes, 
I somehow knew

That feeling and caring and matters
 of the heart pushed aside

The only thing that is really important 
now is what is left inside
