Tearing Through the Blue

I looked up
From the balcony
At the blue sky
Clear and sparkling
The mid morning sun
Bright and harsh
Casting its light
Wide and far

The blue stretched
Like a sheet taut
Complacent and invincible
Away from human touch
Making me want
To pierce through it
To tear its complacency
To pull off the mask

My body limiting
My soul breaking free
Like an eagle
Only, heading up
But when I pierce
What do I find?
Another sheet
Stretched as taut?

Frustrated, I dive back
Ignoring the sky
Wanting the clouds
To mar the blue
Better a cover
Than the stark
Which is true
And yet only a mask
