Big Sky

Twilight is playing on the big sky --
where unending fields meet the firmament --
distortions of daylight colors
swirl, twist, swoop, spin, eddy
without regard for boundary,
gravity or dimension.

Evening dissolves into night,
its ebonite ceiling
sprinkled so generously with
points of light.

Morning punches through the darkness.
Clouds kiss the earth,
leaving mist.
The sun reaches down
to gently shake us awake.

I want a piece of the big sky --
rolling, rumbling, volatile, capricious, commanding --
to hang the sprawling welkin canvas
where it will always be
in my sight.
