Summer Sky

fiction, nature, Personal Reflection 1 Minute 
You dressed 
yesterday
in benevolent blue;
your full skirted frock 
waist gathered in with 
the smell of Saturday’s lawn
and bird cry's 
eighteen carat tinkle.

Your jeweled neck
its gracious curve
promising protection
at every horizon

until
 
clouds peeled back
stark neon skeleton
the slash 
of exposed bone
and roar of pain.

You clapped 
me on the back
thunderous hands
ignominious 
as laughter.

We all walk in the dark. But if we hold hands, perhaps the dark won't be as scary.

  3. Enchanted descriptions of nature. November weather can be so fickle. But then April isn’t much better 😉

    I do like a good lightning show. 🌩 (lightning coming from a cloud).
