the earth, sky and doubt

amorous love, the sky showed affection
to so darling a thing as earth.
that the smitten clouds looked to trees yonder
pouring rain, rushed hymns of marriage.

quick followed, induction of grand unite
between swift groom and rash bride.
brief the courting, in likeness copulate,
euphoria's season come and go.

so abrupt the brier stems, doubt nestles,
anchored fast into sky's thoughts thorn.
showers halt their descent, fertile transformed
barren land that shrubs thirst of sad.

deluge never arrived on starving soil
as creeper's outstretched arms to grasp,
dry windless non-existent air nutrients
from the late love of darling sky.
