From the Earth to the Sky

Written for the Writer's Cramp

From quiet hills where silence sings,
Life awakens in the cracks, blooming out of rocks.
Over the meadows, in colors it clings,
Whispering secrets beneath the docks.
Even in stone, there’s a hopeful hue,
Rising with dawn’s soft, golden shocks.
Spring hums a song, ancient but true.

Soaring high, across starlit skies,
Pathways shimmer in alien light.
And through the dark, they carve their cries,
Celestial dancers in endless flight.
Each one a marvel, falling from the skies.
Seeking new homes in cosmic night.
Hope trails behind as silence dies.
Infinity beckons beyond all sight.
Peace or peril? Time defies.
Still they return, drawn to Earth’s delight.

Over the edge where the earth meets blue,
Currents swell in a breathless trance.
Even calm tides hold power true,
As sirens hum and whales still dance.
No wall can stop the ancient frown,
Storms rise, flooding coastal towns.

Wild and free, the air now screams,
Its rage unfurled in reckless sway.
Nature’s breath splits silent dreams,
Dust and leaves in fierce ballet.
Sky roars aloud, blowing everything away.
