Day 75: A Beautiful Day
/
It has been pretty dreary the past few days that I am ecstatic to see blue skies again. There is nothing I love more than green trees with the bright blue sky behind it. Below is the view from my room at the office that I am getting to enjoy while doing computer work.
In fact, I love sites like this so much, I even wrote a poem about it years ago. It will be appearing in my upcoming chapbook,
As Light Ascends

Messages from the Sky
There is something to say
The view from my office window today
...makes work seem less like work somehow
about the contrast of colors
that occurs with sky and trees–
how that buoyant blue
is somehow made brighter
behind branches bursting
with green so graciously.
Same with the shadowed
egg-shell shade of clouds
that slides with ease of water,
and the airplane in the distance,
disguised as a diamond
perched among peach petals
gently cascading on some
celestial scenery.
Above these sky-scenes
Heaven is sure to prove its transparency;
but from this terrestrial position
the impression is a perpetual fluctuation
between Eden and perfection.
