Poetry: Above It All

The sky is ancient
I wonder if it knows
What’s to come

Does it notice the changes
From up there

Does it see
The smoke rising from the ashes

Does the sky hear
The cries of the righteous
From deep beneath the bounds of time

Does it wonder
When creation will be made whole

The clouds
Hold back the rain

They are faithful
To the promise that has been made

They’ve witnessed the mercy
Of the Lord our God.
