we wait in the shade of heaven




Hanging high in the sky

Wind perking up now, as I write

Another beautiful day builds


Above, the underside of heaven

spits upon us, shaping pools

continuously reflecting its very glory


More textured than a cloud

rather, an anthology of vapor

blocking out any pure light


To many, it seems a bad day to be out

but, truth be told, it's not. The day is

losing its beauty, as the final reflections


of puddles start to shrink.

Wind was brief, if any, to begin with.

The day loses its light.


Before, when I wanted to write

this poem, you were a lighter

shade and now you have darkened.


What I'm attempting to say,

if not too convoluted entirely,

life will be like this until Spring ends


We wait in the shade of heaven
