I sank under the waves

and watched the sky fall away.

 

Above

I swim towards the sky

with my eyes closed.

 

Above

I am sailing on waves

past fishes

who watch me with wide eyed curiosity as they swim by.

 

Above

I am flying by

birds who sing to me as they float away.

 

Above

and below

I am traveling

on waves that touch the sky

with blue.

 

Just a Thought

Word of th Day Challenge: Cheery

‘Shadows’ painting by Timothy Easton

Cherry trees, apple trees,

honored guests at picnics

handmade silk parasols

clutched in hopeful happy hands

fields of sunflowers laughing into the sun

lace curtains hanging in open windows

cast

shadows so dark

they make the darkest shades

in Hell

blush in shame.
