Cracks in the Clouds 


I do not celebrate the cracks
in the clouds where blue skies
hide from view. If we could
carve those skies up whenever
we could, we would expose 
the blue skies forever. They
need their privacy from our 
prying eyes. The clouds bring
us the gloom we have given
the skies from our disrespect 
of nature with our man-made 
contraptions. In darkness blue
skies cry themselves to sleep.
