To the Sky
poems
- There I threw my sorrows
- in hopes that they would stay.
- Instead you returned tomorrow
- with the weight of yesterday.
- Forgive me for asking twice,
- I’ve already begged in prayer–
- He returned a palm full of ice,
- a reminder that life isn’t fair.
- The crows made their sighs
- and the sunflowers bowed,
- I screamed shouted and cried
- while you stood indifferent and proud.
- The grass gleamed with dew
- as I endured the cold pain,
- while the earth smiled, renewed,
- and thanked me for the rain.
