I Miss The Sky
It hit me all at once, that something I did every day, to catch my breath, no longer works for me. One more thing lost to me. - John

I miss the sky.

It used to be, right there, when I looked up.
When I needed a breather, a break from the world,
I could just lift my eyes, and see the sky

Clouds drifting in the breezy sunlit blue

Sometimes, when I was really stressed,
I could faintly hear Hendrix say, “ ’Scuse me, while I kiss the sky….”
As I lifted my face into the sun, and blew the clouds a kiss.

Peace would come, a moments respite it’s true

Today, I needed a break, a moment of peace, and
As I have done countless times in my life, I looked up,
I saw the clouds there, floating on the breeze,

But all I could see were thoughts of you

Then it was I realized, that since you died
When I look at the sky, seen through a sheen of tears
it’s just clouds, there, in the air.
