HELPFUL SUGGESTION: if you like what you've read (and even if you didn't), come back in a day or two. It'll be better. In fact, if you hated it, you must come back and read it again because it will definitely be better. *************************** "I find that I am so excited I can barely sit still or hold a thought in my head.

another sky (another try)

Rate: 4 Flag

 

look!

the sky has cracked

open a glistening egg

like wild horses

like unbridled laughter 

 

and  I’ll be damned

(or maybe not

it's opened up

blue as the sun

bright-as-your-eyes

 

once upon a time

it seemed a far cry

as though the sky had stopped

hard without a thought

with no concern for the rest of us

 

but look! it's opened up

like a newborn stretching

in softest slumber

gentle on my arms

so warm I could kiss you

 

take your  clouds of meringue

and go where you were your best 

ever golden

fly away

Thank you both.

I'm grinning from ear to ear and a little bit of the blushing too.

Thank you Chuck and Tink.

This is as sweet as "a newborn stretching in softest slumber." What a lovely line.
