Very lovely and a profound sentiment that even though we know this will all end, will all come to nought, we still have that sky to love. I believe your words will long outlive you.
Ooooh, so beautiful and rich with heartache! Also, I just really relate to: "Through my closed eyelids
I still see..." Often, when I've been observing something closely, I close my eyes and watch the imprints linger...(Sometimes, it's hilarious, because I will have spent the day weeding on the farm, and close my eyes only to see endless weed-prints!🤣)

Many many thanks, Derek--that means so much...!

So happy you enjoyed it, Brian!! Thanks a million!
"For though the future may well fall awry
And all our dreams be dust when we are dead,
Do not remember that the sun will die
"For there’s eternity to live, that I
See even upon gossamer’s brief thread
In beauty of the blueness of the sky."
Oh, my heart. ❤️🩹
So many thanks... <3

So very glad you've enjoyed these poems, Sydney! I have to laugh about seeing weeds with closed eyes--so spot on! ;-)
