blue sky


by dog e relaford



the sky is blue
the clouds are white
it is day
but will be night

a blade of grass
grows unobserved
a butterfly swoops
and then it swerves

a raindrop falls
but falls alone
and then it dries
upon a stone

a beetle crawls
on a fallen leaf
encounters a bird
and comes to grief

a critter tries
to cross the road
meets a spinning tire
and implodes

the sun is tired
it has climbed for miles
it will start back down
in a little while

here is a thought
and it is deep
mother nature
is never asleep

the sky is blue
the clouds are white
it is day
but will be night
