The Pregnant Sky Poem by Dennis Lange

The Pregnant Sky



The clouds, a swollen gray, hang down
Like baby carried low
By woman in her pregnancy
With only days to go.

We watch, like fathers, wondering
How much more can it take
For our beloved, the pregnant sky,
To have her water break?

And when it does on our dry land
And sky gives birth to joy
All men exult as if their wives
Had baby girl or boy.
