…promethean artistry

Sombre reflections, a transitioning sky
driven by invisible currents
both revealing and unrevealing
daring promethean artistry
sharing the fire of the gods
regardless of the consequences
weeping clouds clamour to cover the sun
their tears forming puddles
and rivers in the dirt
cold winds create ripples
obscuring their pale reflections
the aching anguish of separation
sweet songs of melancholy
linger until the winds abate
and the waters become mirror still
the joyful clouds
fill them to overflowing
reunited once more
until the sun carries them both away
