SKY
Is the sky a work of art?
Is the sky a piece of work?
I guess the sky
is the biggest
artwork on earth,
the most democratic.
For most people it’s free,
always open
except when it’s closed
but even then.
It’s very distinctive.
No-one else can do it.
Except maybe on some other planet
but for us in our lifetime
for every thing or being we know
if they are on earth
we have this sky
and for most of us
it is free.
Of course it’s not harmless.
No-one can say he or she made the sky
unless you are talking to God
or your lover,
your child.
It’s the most precious thing
we know.
Take care.
