Clear skies

Perspective changes when the sky is clear View table of contents...

An empty sheet of cobalt hangs high

Flawless, not a single cloud in place,

I gaze, my spirits strong, reminsicing all the blue skies

All the happy days, all my thoughts in pace.

*

The happy times trickle by,

A gentle stream of happy contemplation,

The days that time always seemed to fly

With my future as my only explanation

*

Times filled with uttermost buoyancy

Times filled with untold pleasures

Life never seemed to disagree

With all my new found treasures

*

This had become

my care free time

No worries or strife for me to call mine

Just a flawlwss sky.

And my thoughts simmering up high.

Into the clearless abyss

Of a deep blue sky.

thanks!!! do you mean like aliens? or whole new worlds in the sky? i don't know but yeah i guess!

For some reason it reminds me of lazy summer days, laying in the grass staring up at the sky imagining what the clouds look like. Nice job! You're so good!

A gentle stream of happy contemplation,

The days that time always seemed to fly

With my future as my only explination

thanks let me go off to correct it!!

This had become

my care free time

No worries or strife for me to call mine

Just a flawlwss sky.

And my thoughts simmering up high.

Into the clearless abyss

Of a deep blue sky.

loved these lines and YES Wandy....sky has always intrigued us always...right?? Even my son is attracted towards the shapes of the clouds ...I love the sky at night with stars twinkling and if luck would have it...i might witness a 'shooting star' as well....

beauiful poem....simple and sweet

ha! I know right? is that what it made you think of?

"I can see clearly now the rain is gone
I can see all obstacles in my way
Gone are the dark clouds that had me down
It's gonna be a bright bright bright bright sun shiny day." - a song by Jimmy Cliff.

While reading your poem that song came to mind.

I notice the use of the colour blue to signify the peace and calmness of what the poem is saying.

i love the line that says
" No worries or strife for me to call mine
Just a flawlwss sky." wonderful :)

all the best... lexie

awww thanks! im glad it cheered you up!!

I love it. The sky's so simple but is so complicated. The sky really is 'flawless'; when you're in trouble, in need etc you look up to sky as if it were goign to take your problems away - It deoes nothing but circulates yet it solves so much and takes all the pain, stress etc away. And you're gifted, Wandy...God you really are.

Keep up the great work.
