Here Comes the Sky

Here comes the sky,

falling upon us Here comes the tide- the water's on fire

Something seems different this time

Here comes the storm, goes on forever

Eight hundred miles, or more

The wind came down to the waves one day

as the sun looked scornfully on

"I humbly request that you be my guest in a dance"

said the wind on this morn

"Such would be grand, should we make for the land?"

roared the waves, to the sting of the breeze

"I'm feeling restless, the sun is relentless-

I'd fancy a turn if you please"

"The pleasure is mind", said the sky in reply,

"I confess to a sense of unease...

perhaps a diversion will soften the heart of the sun"'

said the sky to the seas

The sea reached out and the wind took a bow,

in the sun so uncommonly warm

So they did waltz in the spray and the salt

And together they danced up a storm

A furious child, feral and wild

the wind swept in through the door

All hope is drowned in a terrible sound

as the ocean leapt over the shore

Then they conspired to kindle a fire

and laughed as they howled at the moon

The flames and the sea rose up in the breeze

And agreed they'd meet again soon

Sun be damned, we'll dance upon land again soon
