Ode To The Sky (Carmencita Damian)
September 26, 2018
The shade hides the grass
That sits under my eyes
I’ll let the afternoon pass
As they look up to the sky
The cracks are clear
Around your radiant crown
Bits of my fears
Floats away toward the clouds
The clouds change the more I stare
I thought I saw the difficult future
But I’m too tired to care
The sky is so deep
And the sun is so hot
You look ready to weep
But I don’t feel raindrops
Prayers are not my specialty
But you made them something new
I’m sure it’s not specially me
But oh dear sky, I love you
Bedroom blue
And lightswitch white
What am I going to do
When it becomes night

The piece was written for my grandmother, who is very sick, and is a projection of my fears. I compare her to the sky, which I feel draw similarities.
