Sky Talk

we can talk in the language of the sky

you and I

when each day begins 

we can look to see 

if there are clouds

low or high

far or nearby

and in the afternoon

we can look to see where the sun is

if dark will come later or soon

we can look to see

if the night will be cool

rain or dry

you and I 

in the twilight

we can muse about

how the trees look different

in this different light

how shadows play

on the streets

on our faces turning lovers into strangers

in the night time when the lights are low

and in the heavens orbs and stars glow

we can wonder we are still together

smile at the thought

as the moon emerges high

what will the sky bring tomorrow for 

you and I
