SKYKU

My morning commute
Now has breathing space in it
To stop and to think

A moment to pause
Think about the day to come –
Reflect upon life

On most clear mornings
I park the car and take some
Pictures of the sky

Roadside observer
Waving a cameraphone –
Capturing glory

Random cloud sculptures
Ever-changing miracles
Over the valley

A second short pause
Catches clouds and the city
Stretching out below

I will stop once more
As I’m heading home again
Looking back and up

Such stimulation
Adds such quality to life -
Makes it worth living.

  1. Nice and easy Martin. Yes, these are the moments that count not the turgid shit that surrounds us most of the time. Good to see that you recognise that. Fascinating pics of your Grandfather's by the way.
