Warmth of the sun, a poem

Warmth of the sun
by Mike Marcellino

When you're
on the ground
looking up
feel
the warmth of the sun
in a clear club sky.
Then,
a cloud appears
floating by
behind
man's monuments
reaching
from the ground
to beyond
the sky.

When you're
on the ground
looking up,
sit and wonder
why
life
is
like
the warmth of the sun
in a clear
blue sky
chirping birds
nearby
hardly visible
to the naked eye
until a single
one flies by.

And you're awakened
in a start
rumble
rumble
red brick
rumble
when you're on the ground
and you're
awakened
in a start
suddenly
again awakened
in a start
grey blue
fast moving clouds
come in
for moments
covering the sun,
blown blown
northwest
chill wind
chill wind
outa
a
clear
blue sky
covering
the warmth of the sun.
