Under the Sky
By Marites Avisado-Responte
Under the Sky
One afternoon, I lie down on the grass
I come face to face with the blue sky
Her face is clear, except when bullet jet flies
Leaving a streak long white cloud trails
Over her genuine and perfect smiles
She never broods when clouds roll in and pass by
Nor be threatened when thunders arise
Though she was ravaged by storm last night
She maintains her blueness, today, with might
I think she enjoys what she sees down
Babies on stroll, kids-their kites have flown
Teens cheer their teams as baseball games are on
And colored tents abound, for parties and celebration
I wonder how she feels, happy faces color her day
Does she laugh and giggle in her secret way
Or send a message to the Almighty, not to rain today
So, not to spoil when His creatures pray and play
When the sun says goodbye, she never sighs
For her world is colored with red and orange fires
She is grateful when this moment transpires
Everyone looks up in awe and could only admire
The sun sets over the horizon- her world is in total darkness
The moons emerges and accompanies her loneliness
Her eyes have shone, the city lights are twinkling
Ablaze with excitement, she is dancing
With the skylight, fanning and chasing
Now another day ends
I cross my fingers that tomorrow will take its trend
Whether the sky is gray or blue
I will always remember that it is not tainted with blues..
