Clear skies of heavenly blue <br />The sun shining through beautiful green <br />Wind whispering through strands of hair <br />Complete peace out here <br />Memories of would be's and can't be's <br />Tingling warmth spreads <br />Where are you? <br />Taking deep breaths, nothing wrong yet <br />Echoes of gunfire surround you <br />I know you wish you were here <br />The dust kicks up and swirls <br />Gasping as a comrade falls <br />Looking up at the same heavenly blue <br />The sun shining just as bright <br />We are under the same sky <br />But complete world apart<br /><br />Jennifer Ottinger<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/same-sky-worlds-apart/
