The Sky Sees Us

Today as I stepped out into the early-December chill,

I wrapped my coat tight around me,

but when I looked up, I was quickly warmed

by the glowing clouds overhead, 

illuminated in soft hues of twilight,  

like a relative or a friend arriving at the gate,

lighting up at the sight of you.  

All I could do was smile,

sealing my soul’s connection to the sky.
