THIS SKY WE SEE ABOVE US






What, really is this sky we behold?
It looks so near, yet it`s so far
Its moon lights up our night into bright daylight
Yet if it were shut off, we`d be in total darkness.

The sky is not just a celestial object
It`s a bottomless pit
No, it`s mystic poetry
It`s perhaps God`s secret.

It brings us showers of rain
It shows us shades of clouds
It impresses us with meteoric myths and legends
Its stars we can never count
Its spirits we can never comprehend
Its sun and moon eclipses confound us
Yet its rainbow warns us
Sometimes it swallows them all up like a prey.

It looks like the wide and endless sea
It appears  like the wild beast
It moves like the frightful python
It yawns like the angry dragon.

It offers its wisdom to the ancient priests
It gives the women a topic for gossip
It confers on men a false sense of security
To us on earth it spells death in the heavens.

Serpent
Monster
Man
Or God
What does it matter?

The sky is the sky.
