It is said that
The skies were once
A blur of oranges
Mixed with lilacs
Sprinkled with vermillions
With a pinch of
Periwinkle thrown in.
Yellows occasionally danced
Inviting the emeralds along.
Amber streaks
Sang across the skies,
And auburns would
Join in for the chorus
While burgundy dots would
Watch from afar.
*
It is said that
The skies were once a riot
Of every brilliant hue imaginable.
*
Then one day,
The sky and the ocean
Fell in love.
Broken by a love
It could never touch
The colours
Slowly faded away
And the skies turned azure.
Heartbroken,
The ocean now reflected the skies
And became
A shy shade of blue.
And at nights,
When even blue
Is too much to bear
The sky turns sable
And the oceans roar and scream
With a ferocity
That is heartbreakingly beautiful.

Very beautiful as usual! A lovely story telling. AND I would like to invite you to be the first “local” poet featured on that blog feature we were talking about this morning at Impromptu Promptlings. Would you be willing to do that? I would love to have a paragraph or two about you and/or your blog (however you want to do it), and a picture to put with it if you’d like that. Then pick out your favorite poem and send it all to me on my Drop Me A Note tab or on the form on the “Sacrifice” post I just did. Let me know by Monday if you’re interested. Thanks! ❤
