Of Skies And Lives Poem by Liilia Talts Morrison

The sky can be a kind of map
of feelings truths and ways
to those who care to look above
while trudging earth-born days

Quite often thunderclouds can tempt
the peace our sun affords
yet soon white fluffy cumulus
will strum much brighter chords

Sometimes the firmament is blue
and deep beyond belief
sometimes a rainbow makes a show
so stunning and so brief

But for the most part it's a bit
of this and that and those
and skies above just like our lives
wear many changing clothes

The sky can be a kind of map
of feelings truths and ways
to those who care to look above
while trudging earth-born days.
