Overhead, a giant comforter rests snugly
You’ve no doubt guessed
It’s sporting several shades of gray…
And it’s okay, it’s full of rain - ready to empty
As near as I can tell - all is well and that’s swell
Looking east from my second story view
The sky is always looking at Earth differently
Then it seems it was a little while ago
Light and shadow, dark and bright
Stars and planets dot the night
Surprising us - as far as we can see
Looking east from my second story view
Today the sunrise hides itself away
Playing… a backlit, backstage, supporting, fill-in role
Because science tell us, nature, gets her way
But maybe the wind might jinx the plan aloft
Like it ruffles feather edges of passing clouds
Looking east from my second story view
