Overhead Ocean (poem by me)


Veins of pulsing pink 

And vengeful orange 

Shoot through the sky 

Crowning the mountains 

Caressing the trees 

Until every being in the forest 

Turns to watch 




The world becomes liquid 

Languid 

At the sight 

Of the fiery ocean 

Hovering just above our heads 

Just out of reach… 




And even the tiniest scampers 

And the heaviest lopes 

Grow legato marks

Over their heads 




But as the scene 

Melts into darkness 

The crickets strike up 



The moment is lost.
