the sky caving in like a cliff edge
black all around except for the valley

ethereal
yet grounding

suddenly
the heavens open up
and the land is seen again

we no longer sail on the sea of black clouds
but coast along the edge of light

almost bumping it
but never touching

we feel like gods
and yet are reminded of just how human we are
on a cloudy september night.
