sky moves sideways
Posted by matt sutton (Sydney, Australia) on 30 December 2008 in Abstract & Conceptual and Portfolio.
We lost the skyline
We stepped right off the map
Drifted in to blank space
And let the clocks relapse
We laughed the rain down
Slow burn on the lawn
Ghosts across the lawn
Swallowed up the storm
Sometimes I feel like a fist
Sometimes I am the colour of air
Sometimes it's only afterwards
I find that I'm not there
In the dream dusk
We walked beside the lake
We watched the sky move sideways
And heard the evening break
Sometimes I feel like a fist
Sometimes I am the colour of air
Sometimes it's only afterwards
I find that I'm not there

@Bill: thank you Bill. Looking at it now I should have posted the one with the land below to give it some scale. It was H U G E !

This is such a great vision you offer here ! And the poem is wonderful, is it yours ? (I feel like a fist sometimes too :)

@k@: Hello K@. Thank you for your comments. These are song lyrics from a powerful band called Porcupine Tree. As you would agree poetry and photography are very closely related? ;-)

Must have been a sight to behold, Matt. The clouds, dark at one end (I feel like a fist?) and soft and light at the other (the colour of air?). And that's a beautiful poem. Thanks for putting sharing.
