Skylight Dreams

Skylight Dreams


If I could touch the sky
What would happen?
Would my fingers slide through
The air, part it seamlessly?
Or move sluggishly in a glide
Like underwater?
Could I cup puffy clouds
Between my hands or
Cover the sun with my palm
Like catching a firefly?
Would birds be so many gnats
To be brushed away like pests?
Would my smile light the world
On fire with the brilliance of day
And a frown darken the sky
To be followed by night?
Could I breathe life to tornado by spinning
Around with my arms flung wide?
Or turn my tears to rain and
Water the earth with my sorrow?
If I stepped too hard on the earth
Would it break apart?
Would a brush of my foot
Send toppling waves?
With my hands in the sky and
My feet on the ground, how many
People would tell me my head
was in the clouds?
What would happen if
I touched the sky?
