Pale Blue Sky

The night was
bleeding red—
a misery I thought
would never end.

Then Fate chose
to paint the sky
pale blue,
a heavenly hue
that made my heart
smile
for a minute
or two.

A velvet shadow.
A sacred fantasy.
A peaceful beauty
shining
on the edge
of a cliff just for me.

I’ve never felt
peace like this before—
it’s Heaven
inside Hell,
a feeling I will carry
forevermore.
