Someday I will ride the great bird <br />Into the sky, into the grey <br />And will take a bright secret of mine <br />Into the grey, grey sky. <br /> <br />And the light will come, piercing my eyes <br />Out of the sky, out of the grey <br />Come blinding and searing these eyes <br />Out of the grey, grey sky. <br /> <br />And I will find comfort in this <br />In the wide sky, in the wide grey <br />In the painful dark brightness of light <br />Light of the grey, grey sky. <br /> <br />My secret will fly away home <br />Into the sky, into the grey <br />And the great bird will follow it there <br />Into the grey, grey sky. <br /> <br />And I will be riding that bird <br />Bird of the sky, bird of the grey <br />And I will come home once again <br />Home to the grey, grey sky. <br /> <br />But for now I am weighted, earthbound <br />One of the mud, one of the ground <br />And I write this sad song to sad sound <br />Girl of the pavement sighs.<br /><br />Grace Hutton<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/grey-grey-sky/
