yesterdays goodbye....tears of sadness... a grown man...weeps...a friend...holds him tight... across the room... faces of sorrow... the day lingered in silence... people reaching out to one another... tear drenched faces... hugs of love...spread quickly through the crowd... the sun shined upon us all yesterday... the sun shined for a friend yesterday...
watching the almost storm roll through the sky... creating abstract creatures....flying alligators....women with wings... illuminated... making their way north... floating slowly... changing...from one second to the next... orange and pink... laced with gray...soft and beautiful.... for over an hour... the magnificent oklahoma sunset... consumed me... my friend reciting play by play scientific facts... regarding the atmospheric changes... like i could give a shit... i wanted him to shut up... i wanted him...to stop talking...and watch the magic of the color ... the constant changes... the need to feel it without explanation... i do know...why the sky is blue... believe it or not... while my need was to look in silence...it was his to explain...
so it is... the sky brings me comfort...when the sadness is much to great... i've done this my entire life....my sons do this... we have always talked of the sky...the clouds...calling one another... go outside now.. you've got to see the sky.... the beautiful beautiful sky... the moon rises in the east again....descending in the west... it's all so predictable... but it never seizes to amaze me...
