A New Poem: Look Beyond the Trees

 This is one of a number of sky poems I've written in the last few years.

 

The sky is

my touchstone.

What lies beyond

the trees and

the white bird’s flight

is the origin

of oracles.

Sailing clouds.

Pink dawns.

Red sunsets.

The sun

breaking through

the clouds –

or not.

Mist obscuring

the hills –

or not.

Nights with constellations,

nights with the moon –

or not.

Lifting my head,

I am related

and reoriented.

Any time.

Any place.
