Scottish Skies

June 28, 2018

Scottish Skies

Like my love for you

the on and on-ness of those Scottish skies

far sky there here sky made clear by clouds

of all things, clouds

 

Children in a blue playground clouds

some flatten and fly trying not to be seen

rushing on to disappear

some brooding with furrowed brow

some puff up and swell big bullies of the sky

then climbing over each other crying and shouting

scraping knees on volcanic mountain scapes

 

Sometimes they are known for crashing down hail

greeting the ground joyfully spilling cold white pearls

ping pop and jump off mounds of moss

rolling to rest in the still of my heart

little tight spitballs of clouds

 

Some now rimmed in crowning holy light

some whisper snow and sugar the mountain breast

 

What a collection gathering and clashing and moving on

drifting toward a nearer that never comes

like you my love waiting for you

Queen Elizabeth Forest, Scotland, 2016
