Appreciation

The sky is
   so bright
   and the sun is hitting it just right;
The blue is so distinct
   that it’s an instinct
   to stare at its elegance;
The different shades weaving,
   so calming
   like paints colliding,
   yet streaming
   like water.
The right amount of moisture
   in the small, strewn clouds
   with shrouds
   of pearls.
The blanket feels the outside walls
   and intimately crawls
   over my eyes.
So far, so close
   and yet you chose
   to shut
   your eyes.
