If I was a mountain

That soared towards the sky,

With craggy snow caps

And stormy grey eyes-



Then you'd be the clouds

That swaddled my peak,

That silenced my thunder

When I tried to speak.



If I was the earth

The desert, in fact:

With arid dry soil

And mud, baked and cracked-



You'd be the rain

The downpour that soothed;

The balm to my bruises,

Relief to my wounds.



If I was the Moon

In the indigo night,

With stars as my blanket

And silver; my light-



Well you'd be the Sun

Just always behind

That lent me your glow

And caused me to shine.
Matthew Whetten Aug 2012
we float on top of the world
drawing through clouds
and walking on air
laughing at the things we draw
with the moisture from below
we are no Icarus
our wings do not burn down
we are like the bight sun
we never leave the sky
we always are on the bright side

— The End —
