If the Sky Reopens

I remembered today

While celestial tears still clung to my lashes

A time before

On a day filled with the scent of blossoms

When you sprouted beneath me

And instead of dead dry leaves

The sunlight reached into soft soil

And pulled us up together

Pink and vibrant and new

And together we grew

You touched my rose petal skin

While I kissed your ripened lips

And up on the hips of the world

Delicate green leaves shaded our shimmering eyes

Under the guise of forever

But today the sky is still closed

Because every beauty ends

Though I dream of its reopening

And hope you will return to me

Reborn of spring and aching ecstasy
