Blue-eyed sky

    A blue-eyed sky abides with me today
    and seems to watch my every skip and stride,
    then smiles upon me, while I make my way
    to ponder by the shoreline’s frothy tide.

    I feel that I should shout my deepest thoughts--
    at least express them through my heart-felt prayers;
    I’d rather not disturb the smallest cloud
    or, somehow, burden nature with my cares.
