The shade hides the grass


That sits under my eyes


I’ll let the afternoon pass


As they look up to the sky


The cracks are clear


Around your radiant crown


Bits of my fears


Floats away toward the clouds


The clouds change the more I stare


I thought I saw the difficult future


But I’m too tired to care


The sky is so deep


And the sun is so hot


You look ready to weep


But I don’t feel raindrops


Prayers are not my specialty


But you made them something new


I’m sure it’s not specially me


But oh dear sky, I love you


Bedroom blue


And lightswitch white


What am I going to do


When it becomes night


The author's comments:

The piece was written for my grandmother, who is very sick, and is a projection of my fears. I compare her to the sky, which I feel draw similarities.
