While on a small island way away from all civi lisation I came to be made aware of the sky above in a different way...


I never saw the sky so high

The sky above
and below
the starry firmament

wedged between nebulosae
and early morning mist
was never so close before

one morning
with a froth of foam
aquamarine sea met
azurblue heaven

another morn leadgrey skies
kissed pearlgray dawn
pencilled outlines only

then an uproarious molten
silver sea throwing itself
against the brim of sootblack rock

or the lake of silken blue
clearer than the heaven itself

the prattling of a downpour
in the harbor
against the arch of a rainbow
inland

never has the sky been
so high
so low
so inside me
and so without

and never before
lacked I wings to fly with
more than now

I love the way you describe the sky in all its moods and hues!
And the way you internalise it...

Love, Zoya
