How High, How Low, Or So?

A man may walk abroad and no more see the sky than if he walked under a shed. - Thoreau

cerise sky at night

sailor's delight

carmine sky at dawn

queen captures pawn

either way,

hold me tighter than tight

that way, no matter which nebula is within sight,

i'll always be steered right

Author's Note

"Any landscape would be glorious to me, if I were assured that its sky was arched over a single hero." - Thoreau
