Pull your eyes away
from electronic interlopers.
Stave off all urgent replies and forwards.
Gently lay your burdens down
as a baby enveloped in a crib
of blankets and soft comforts.
Guide yourself out
where the humid winds move
through you like shape-shifters,
and the spring peepers
noisily mate in the the twilight.
Look up, look up.
Don't wonder how it happens
every night of your life.
Don't say it's beautiful.
Say nothing at all.
Forsake the moment.
Disremember the day.
Look up, look up.

That's a wonderful sky. I spent the evening well away from electronic interlopers. Now I can especially enjoy being with mine again!

"Disremember the day" and look up - and what wondrous things we see when we do that. An ever-changing sky. Lovely.
Such a beautiful color. It's amazing how different the same sky can look day after day.
