ABOVE US ONLY SKY

poem by: Kenvil Atkins
Written on Jan 24, 2021

The bluest sky of Milwaukee is at the exact sport as that of Saint Lucia 
A million miles from nowhere standing in the exact sport of yesterday  
Chin up head upright I see the vastness of space and time in my mind  
How far is heaven perhaps behind the pale blue clear sheets of cloud? 

Up a distance towards Calvary a quiet sport sky and sea melt away 
The Island is a continent the brain too small to ponder what’s not there 
Down beneath it’s just a nut in a tight shell in a pool of nothingness 
And the loneness of my soul wanders into endless voids seeking refuge 

Where do they go when their time expire looking back at creation Selah 
The heaven above or the earth beneath for above us only sky Selah 
Below us darkness and few wants to know the mysteries of dark places 
And then I awoke to find me flying to where I have never known Selah
