Daring

…promethean artistry

Sombre reflections
a transitioning sky
driven
by invisible currents
both revealing
and unrevealing

daring
promethean
artistry
sharing the fire
of the gods
regardless
of the consequences

weeping clouds
clamour
to cover the sun
their tears
forming puddles
and rivers
in the dirt

cold winds
create ripples
obscuring
their pale reflections
the aching anguish
of separation

sweet songs
of melancholy
linger
until the winds
abate
and the waters
become mirror still

the joyful clouds
fill them
to overflowing
reunited once more
until the sun
carries them both away
