Sometimes,
When I look into the sky, I see
The white sprinkles of your cake,
The streaks of icing smudged across your midnight cloak.

Sometimes,
When I look to the sky, I hear
The plane crumbs rumbling against your stormy scarf,
The pure silence of your somber demeanor.

Sometimes,
When I look to the sky, I smell
The fragrant blades of grass underfoot,
The burning, crackling scent of smoke.

Sometimes,
I see you,
Although other times,
I do not.

But out of all of the times
I have witnessed your spectacularity,
They always
Send a twinkling, blazing star,
A strong bolt of lightning,
To the depths of my heart.
