Today I inhabited the sky




Today I inhabited the sky
Dusk enveloped me
painted my eyes.
Palest blue grey stretched on an ethereal canvas
suspended cloud swelling to palest pink.
Ruffled galah grey feathering the edges.

Suffused golden light enriches pink to peach
Distant rumble, waves crack,
high notes of crickets’ hum.
Absorbed by sound the cool night air prickled my skin
Alive and fresh.

Today I inhabited the sky as the unseen waves thundered
and magpies caroled into the evening light.
Silver and cool
A wisp adrift
Absorbed.
