Blue

You will never find a more empathetic friend than the Universe
It weighs your heart,
awaiting the instant
 it goes heavy.

An ever-ready reflector of spirit.

Then,
skies wrap on their mourning veils,
the sun dims,
winds haste
to suck out the remains of hope and meaning from the air,
and the breathing of all life on earth
revamps
to a single all-embracing, everlasting
sigh.
