Endless Sky

Thank you sky for being with me.

When the sun stops shining

 Above my head in a warm blue sky

 Hiding itself

 Behind grey, mindful clouds,

 I take my blooming heart in my hands

 And let it shine as bright as the sun

 Over me wherever I go,

 Endlessly.

I want to swim

In the cerulean sky,

They bring me memories

Of the Baltic sea,

I wish to dive

In them

And pick

All the stars

From cosmos

Blue universe

To bring them home.

I created this poem being inspired by the workshop ‘Blue is the light that got lost…’ hosted by Gaia Holmes. Kings Cross Library, Halifax, England. I attended it on 09/03/24.

When the evening tints the sky 

Splashing saffron on the horizon,

Lay me into the blue sea,

Let it sing me into sleep 

Allow sea birds to guard my peace

Flying over me as white angels would do,

Cover me with gentle winds of South

Till a new day cracks the darkness

And golden sunrays wake up my soul.

Today the white fluffy clouds

Clinging firmly to the blue sky

Like a baby to their mother.

Motionless

No breeze playing in branches of green trees

The time seems frozen itself

And I can breathe for a moment.

I can do things I had no time to do before.

Grey clouds crawl from the horizon

Stretching themselves high in the baby blue sky

Burning their edge in silver and gold

Like huge smoke longing to have the skin of the sky.

I saw a pink flower

In the late Christmas afternoon,

It was blooming in the grey meadow

Up in the sky.


I picked it up with my eyes

And planted in my back garden.

I nourished it with drizzling silver rainwater,

Its petals were smouldering in joy vividly pink 

Absorbing my love.


But its presence did not last for long

It left me in the early evening 

With jingling Christmas bells

Wrapping itself into warm black clouds.


And just before I wanted to ask 

Will you ever be back again?

It kissed me on my cheeks

Leaving  me to wonder 

Was it just a dream

I saw it now.
