It was a beautiful August day.
Sunshine and blue skies.
A Saturday.
Time to relax and enjoy the moment.
Mary and Hans laid on a blanket,
surrounded by tall grass of a meadow.
The slight wind played each blade of grass
like a harp.
That faint whisper,
combined with the joyful song of birds
was music to anyone that heard it.
“I love just looking at the endless sky.”
“It’s so full of hope.”
“And the clouds…”
“Sheep of the sky…”
They closed their eyes
to engage their other senses.
The singing grass lulled them to sleep,
while the warm breeze swaddled them.
“I wonder where you are.”
“I will see you one day.”
They opened their eyes,
and returned home still looking at the sky.

This is a bit different of a CW piece. No official prompt. I just found a note I wrote years ago. A scribble. An idea. Of two people seemingly together yet apart.
Thoughts?
Stay golden,

It’s just like in the movies where two lovers that are apart would stare at the moon out from their window and sing a love song together.
It is calm and soothing. Great piece, Goldie!

Thank you. I wanted it to be light and calm and soothing and hopeful, not sad, so I’m glad it worked out that way.
Do you find yourself looking at the stars and wondering where your other half is?

Oh, yes. I do that a lot. Most people think it’s silly, but I just love it! It’s a diehard habit.

I would tell my wife and my daughter about the moon whenever I was gone. No matter where you are, you see the same moon. That is exactly what I thought of as well Obinna.

Isn’t it amazing? One might see it as cheesy, but it totally is magical that we can be so far apart and yet so close.

Exactly Goldie. It was nice every time I looked up at night, I would know that my wife and daughter saw the same moon.

Well, yes, but maybe not at the same time, depending on time zones.

I agree with Goldie that it’s a very magical thing to do. It makes us feel close to our loved ones, no matter how far they are from us.

My pleasure.
Yes I did. Thank you. Well, there is nothing in particular that made me change it but I guess, sometimes, you change things not because they should change but because a change would be good.

Sheep in the sky. Lovely title.
I looked through your post where you summed up all your posts of last year.
I want to read the CW pieces, but also not.
Wouldn’t you be able to look into them and make a book of these short stories. It would be a masterpiece.
I’d buy immediately

I had no idea for the title, but I wanted it to reflect the slow, easy, soothing nature of the poem. Glad you liked it.
I read somewhere a while ago that they will not publish your book if it was previously published somewhere else (including online), which is why I don’t post any parts of my novel on here. But I might have to look into that. Or do an ebook…
In this new year, I wish for every aspiring writer to have a supporter like you. You complement, you motivate, you encourage. Your trainer skills are definitely showing.
