the sky,
did you see it?
i did tonight,
the CO2 greys
and greenhouse greens
i saw the sun,
falling down and outward
a grand explosion of red and
orange amongst the
toxic, suffocating tendrils
of caustic waste clouds
it reminded me of
what i see in your eyes
when you look at me
sometimes, blue pools glitter
they gleam and i
am so easily washed
out into that swirling sea
what i glimpsed tonight
in those eyes of yours
chilled me to the very
marrow of my bones
you seemed lost
and still anchored
like a grand ship
being battered against
its wooden home
by cruel winds and
torturous waves,
raging a battle
with weathered mooring
did you see it?

The last eight lines of this winner of a poem made me think
of the wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald in Lake Superior . . .
But the poem as a whole was anchored within itself with a
kaleidoscope of wonderful messages, questions and thoughts.
Thoroughly enjoyed this one!

I can't thank you enough for your kind and honest words. This is one of my personal favorites and I'd hoped that at least someone may find it enjoyable.

Sweet gods, I love all of it though
this specifically was a unfailing
visual & feeling which stings the core
of one. A lashing of daunting storm.
There is nothing like seeing life &
fulfillment leaving someone's eyes:

toxic, suffocating tendrils
of caustic waste clouds
it reminded me of
what i see in your eyes "
