Stone Sky Breaking
by
Nathan Cowlishaw


The comfortless moon climbs that weary sky,
It's light filters through the window blinds.
It stirs the face of painted landscape around this little house.

A mystery is hiding in that monument of time.

This city has died, and only the restless wind blows,
I was rested on this lazy couch, and behold those windows awoke.

The stone sky outside is suddenly changing, I can feel it in motion.
A newborn has stopped the heavens, then a tunnel of light has formed.
the stone sky is breaking. The trees are becoming apart of this
vision.

I hear the laughter of the oldest children,
and at first I am heavy-hearted. I get up, and
leave the house, and look up at the strange glowing mass spiraling in
the middle of sky.

In this dream, somewhere far away I have come to visit,
and into downward shadows I go.
leaving what I know behind.

A breathing universe surrounds me in it's giant quiet arms.
Slowly, I am floating away on some ancient wing,
descending into some everlasting beauty below.
