She Loved Withering Sunflowers

The Sky

the sky is the most lovely blue

the diamond clouds remind me of you

they walk away

Away from the sun, they go astray

the sky is more profound than oceans below

the clouds, like melting gold they glow

Staring straight at heaven's above

I can't help but think of long lost love

the sky shows me a silhouette

Of faraway worlds, I have not yet 

seen or understood

 as if the sky wears a cloudy hood

the sky lurks, just above reach

the clouds showing wards I must not breach

The sky has me misunderstood

Oh, dearest! You take off that cowl.

The sky is wise and yet naive

For at that moment, it too did leave

With no sky keeping wards underneath my feet

To the clouds, I did retreat

The sky came back and saw

My wounds won't heal, my heart won't thaw

My love! The clouds remind me of you

For you are lost, and hope is too.
