When the sky drips with sun

When the sky drips with sun

A Poem by Sarah McKeever Hitt

The torturous moment has come
when the sky drips with sun
and grass is sweet and mud is dry
the morning gloom is out of owls eyes
tragic angel songs of the swallows is calling me
in your distinct honor.
 
Today I fell from your love
away from what my childish soul craved
past the infinite excitement of church bells
along the road of less than perfect fantasies
leaving behind all those blessing that escaped me
because you gave them to someone else
 
But I cry not for your hand that has left my arm
and I do not mourn the loss of you in my bed
the moments I miss are those when the earth moved
and the butterflies called out our love for the sky to hear
the seconds when you and I were the most intriguing and bright
That God almighty banned us from ever having again.

this is beautiful writing. one line really stood out to me......"and the butterflies called out our love for the sky to hear". writing doesn't get much better than that.
