GRAFFITI SKIES

"I thank you, God, for this most amazing day, for the dream of sky, and for everything which is natural, which is yes...." - E.E. Cummings (excerpt)

We have this window on the hill. I can see sky.

Brings it close in  early morning.

Paints  the sky at night. 

The mountain range  is like an old friend. 

"I believe if one always looked at the sky, one would end up with wings..." -Gustave Flaubert

I like when it's almost dark. When the quiet comes, and the crickets sing.

 They talk in the dark about their day. 

And the mountains quietly answer with  deep rumbling.

Like giants they rise out of the dark, in the night, in the shadows.

"Once you have tasted the taste of sky, you will forever look up..." -Leonardo da Vinci

The mountain wears pink chiffon  most summer nights.

In winter it throws on a housecoat that has seen better days.

"Bursts of gold on lavender melting into saffron. It's the time of day when it looks like the sky has been painted by a graffiti artist. ..."

"Look, up at the sky.There is a light, there is a beauty up there,that no shadow can touch..."
