Slipping quietly out the door
between the trees
And then … oh
Oh wow
Oh
A long uninterrupted pause
Oh
A sky so glorious
So full
I have to sit
to take it all in
This sky … wow
We sit still … quiet together
for as long as it takes.

And it never takes long
as it changes from beautiful
to more beautiful
and melts into the day.

And then the thought …
what if this is why I’m here.

What if someone needed to see,
to witness the sky like this
from this position
this morning, right now.
And what if this morning, this time
I was the one to see it.

Maybe I was led here
to be witness to the sky
the rising sun
in it’s magnificence
the unparalleled beauty.
Maybe in my desperate searching
for a purpose,
for some reason to survive my grief
maybe this was it this morning
To be witness from this place
from this speck of existence
a witness to the glorious sky
Maybe.
