goodnight, my western sky

Frank Prem

every evening the sun
speaks to the western sky

 

goodnight
goodnight dear host
I will leave you
colour

 

I will paint you red
I will gleam in yellow
I will take the shading away

 

you
brilliant in white
before you fade to sleep
beneath the pinpoint stars

 

then tomorrow
I will return

 

tomorrow
will be a day of gold

 

so until then
goodnight my dear western sky
look for me to shine
when the morning comes

 

and the day
is new begun

      Delighted you enjoyed it so well, Michael. Some things are a touch ethereal and worth trying to pin down in some way.

    • Louis Gibbs

      Only a true poet could listen in on the sun speaking to the sky. Good ease dropping here, Frank!

      • Frank Prem

        Hey Louis. Someone has to listen in to these things. A little voyeuristic, I confess - especially in these times, but sometimes it is necessary!
