Even Blue Skies Burn Sometimes

Sunrise
There’s no other time like it
It’s a new beginning
A new day
A new time
But the day you left behind
Will always be on the edge of that sunset
The colours will always hold time in place
Memories
Stories

It’s a new day
Move on from the past
From those whispered words
From those loving eyes
Blue as a cloudless sky
A smile like the wind blowing through a meadow

No it’s a new day
A new start
A new beginning

The sky streaks with red
His favourite colour
His lips

Orange and pink
That sweater he never took off
The blush on his face

Yellow and green
His hair when the sunlight hits it
The colour of his car

The darkness of night still outlines the expanse of colour
Black
The colour of his jacket as they laid him in the ground
Grey
The colour of his skin
Of eyes that would never open again

And there creeping across the sky
Blue
It will never be a new day
There will never be a new beginning
I can feel his eyes
The perfect blue of his eyes staring down on me
Loving eyes
All in the blue sky
Eyes I can never see again
Eyes that will never gaze into mine

There are no beginnings
Time doesn’t stop or restart
It keeps going through it all

I look up at the colour that was mine
Don’t you see, even blue skies can burn sometimes
