SKY

I am the sun, resting high in the sky
A blaze of glory, a light that bears hope
I am lightning, crashing from the sky
A flash of awe, and a power to fear
I am the storm, power of the sky
A surging force of destructive fury
I am the rain, gentle tears of the sky
A calm refresh washing away all
I am mist, a mystery of the sky
A blanket of lies which hides the truth
I am the cloud, wanderer of the sky
A lone body which acts on its own
I am the one, who is known as sky
Carrying all within me towards tomorrow

If I feel physically as if the top of my head were taken off, I know that is poetry.

Emily Dickinson (1830-1886) American poet.
