Used to be in awe of the sky.
Laying out between it and the ground.
Never regarding that “up” i must find,
While most of it is obscured.
When i try to look down.
It’s there, but hidden,
by the ground.
And it’s not as if it cant be seen if you wait,
Six months pass,
Then seven,
Then Eight,
Nine and Ten, and before i realize,
The stars return how they previously aligned.
A missed opportunity, another year gone by
But something must give, I’ll sit and wait.
On the beach, in a tree
And see what i seek
But forget where i am.
“Come on grandpa, its time to go in.
Tomorrow you can sit on the back porch again.”
