blue sky over arran by anelephantcant

blue sky over arran by anelephantcant

 A cloud floats wispy high and white

Pure in a clean blue sky

A sky too blue to shed a tear

A sky that can never cry

 

The cloud now sees another there

Pure in a clean blue sky

They smile and drift and join each other

In a sky that still can’t cry

 

And now the cloud becomes a shape

Less pure in a clean blue sky

More clouds start merging soft together

In a sky that is yet to cry

sky over loch lomond by anelephantcant

 

The clouds are thick and full and low

Dark in a grey blue sky

The light almost hidden behind the veil

Of a sky preparing to cry

 

Now clouds are all that can be seen

No blue in a grey black sky

No sunlight in a broken world

As the sky begins to cry

 

A cloud floats wispy high and white

Pure in a clean blue sky

The storm passes over clearing the air

In time the tears will dry

    What to say about this exceptional poem, all in gradations and circles, in gentle and sad rhythms, like a slow dance or an inexorable tide?
    Tu es fantastique! Si, vraiment!

    No sunlight in a broken world : des mots qui résument en partie la vie de maintenant (si j’ai bien tout compris) 🙂

Go on, say something, even if it's rude!
