Fire/Skye

A beautiful flaming cloud reaching into the heavens caught my eye:

A wisp of heated fluff,

textured against the twilight fire/skye,

illuminating the imagination

like coals glowing reds and blues.

It is the minds eye that saw her...

as she danced a solo dance

of flaming twists

shooting fire from her fingers...

burning her image into my soul.

Lovely. A fitting poem for a certain Skye I know.

Hmmmm...I guess you could see it that way!

Purr in the sky with fire. I love it.
David N. Aug 19, 2009, 6:18pm EDT
Actually, a muse of a cloud seen last night. I just felt Skye was appropriate since it was a femme. I understand. I thought it was the summer showing her power. I never really thought of it like that...but interesting, coincidence.

It is, and fits her.
