POEM STARTER

“Open skies beckon in something broader.”

Write a poem that begins with this line.

So Close

Open skies beckon broader as it starts to pour

The rain the only thing keeping me afoot

Lost at day, not sure where to walk

So I just sit still as I watch the eagles soar

If I were to reach out, would I touch god’s hands?

Would he be reaching for me as breaths became short?

Just one finger away, but yet never close

Thundering, lightning beckoning me so…

If only, if only, if only I cry out to the empty voice

If only, if only, if only I could rise up into the skies’ embrace

If only, if only, if only, where would I find somewhere safe?

Open skies beckon broader as it expands into the space around me

Holding my heart— or really the empty space where it’s supposed to be

If you could take away the one thing anchoring me to land

Would I fly up into the skies’ that cry, and believe I simply can

Just one more night until the skies call my name

And just more time until the sky beckons, taking me by the hand
