the Sky + a Father's day tribute (Gil Scott-Heron)

from home.
the sky was of an orange hue today.
like marmalade spread. waiting to be chomped.

from my hostel.
the sky's normally painted pink.
like raspberries? or maybe, strawberry jello-s?

different degrees of pollution.
creating two separate but equally beautiful paintings.
God, am i crazy... ... >.<" ... ...



here's a poem, shared by my sister on facebook,
for the upcoming father's day:

"As the proud father of at least one of each of the two possibilities, let me tell you this:
90% of all men seem to want a man-child if pressed into picking one.
Believe me, 'to heir is human, but little girls are divine.'
You will never have any experience that compares to the way little girls are and how devoted they are to you.

Their love comes totally without reservation

Without pretense or nonsense, a brand new sensation

Little girls trust their fathers through all situations

This is how the dreams of an ultimate destination.

Maybe they don't know how they link generations

And carry your immortality on to yet another station

But somehow they must hear and feel god's vibrations

And know that you are their connection to creation."

~Gil Scott-Heron.-RIP-

even when little girls mature into young adults, with their wings all grown and spread out, ready to fly, i doubt that things would ever change.
