We watched as the clouds hid

what we thought were pink 

and orange sun rays. I saw 

clear blue skies fade 

to black. He saw the fluffy clouds 

transform into flickering 

stars. Each star with five points 

that danced with two. I never

saw the clouds disappear 

from the sky. Hours passed,

but the warmth

never greeted my fair.

skin. Only the chill of dark

clouds hid the sun from sight.
