A Different Sky

I wish
I were beneath
a different sky
one not so gray

To think
I could lose you-
a shared heartbeat
more than I can bear

Baby born of you
I can’t hold alone
please don’t leave
we need you so.

If I could choose
a different sky
it would be blue
full of hope and promise-

One where we will both see him
grow and always have your
arms to hold us.

  6. the bitter taste of reality against a hope of bluer sky - although it doesn't read bitter, just infinitely sad...

  12. Tender and sad. Delicately written. Quite an effective metaphor, the sky:

    I wish
    I were beneath
    a different sky
