To Paint The Sky

 

 

today is the dawn of a new day

and i choose to paint the sky red

not for any reason but this:

because i can.

this sky is mine

to shape, to stir, to dream upon.

and today, i choose to write.

so if, in the middle of your busy day,

you happen to look up

and spot a touch of red drifting through the clouds—

know that this was me.

a trace of my fire,

a residue of today’s defiant beauty,

etched across the heavens

for all to see.

my gift.

a contrast.

a burst of colour against your stare—

to remind you:

the sky is not just above us,

it is ours to colour.
