i finally see the sky

today i finally see the sky
after so many days when it remained hidden
behind a blanket of clouds

oh for that touch of blue i have prayed
and my prayers have been answered
today
i will not let this touch of blue
slip by
without enjoying
what i'm standing under

gazing up i'll smile
and see this as a gift
for somehow doing right
amidst the things that i've done wrong
though fortunately
the weather
is not determined
by my actions
or my songs

gazing up i'll sigh
and hope the sky will still be there
without the clouds
when i have the chance to go outside
and revel in it's blueness

i finally see the sky
what's there is so expansive
that even though the cloud may come and go
the sky is part of space
and space is infinite
with limitless potential
it makes my heart feel full

and a little glad to know
i finally see the sky
and can expect it to be there
even when the clouds are low
