I am a solemn sky

lackluster and tainted

shrouded

by featherlike clouds.

sometimes,

my clouds

become too heavy

too saturated

by the weight

of my sentiments

the burden aches

to carry,

the brim is full.

raindrops

glistening,

tip-toeing on fluffy edges

they want to dance

so I pour.

I pour

a frolicking torment,

a whirling cascade.

an anguished storm

prancing,

flooding relentlessly.

once again,

I’m weightless.
