Skylights

By Peter Halstead

To Cath

Wind as deep as sky today,
Day as bare as summer skies,
Sky as still as meadow hays,
Eyes today as light as lights

Play the game of day again,
Light as sun in summer wind,
Clear today as you and I,
Skylights in the still lit air

That winds around the growing haze,
Sun as light and still as sleep
When you and I are children
Of its deep blue eyes again.
