Sky Watch
There are days
I feel like a farmer
watching the skies
for a prediction of tomorrow
taking in the dawn
reading the wind on my face
scenting what it carries
to determine my response
there are days
of remembered storms
when the skies are suddenly greening
and birds have fallen silent
a time to take shelter
after my nightly sky watch
when I’ve read
the warnings of the day ahead – Caroline A. Slee
