Elfje: My Little 11

Somber
The heavens
Despite the showers
Rinsing the swanky Boulevard
Clean

After reading Kim Douillard‘s post, I lifted my eyes to the skies, frequently, whenever I walked outside my apartment.  The vault of heaven wasn’t always pretty over here though. At least, not during those times when I was looking upward.

It looked bland, and boring.

Sky over Defu Lane open field, Singapore

Sky over Defu Lane field, view from the overhead bridge, Singapore

Sky over flats at Hock Chye Lane, Singapore

Walking along the elegant Boulevard (topmost picture) on Monday, I saw the same grayness of overcast skies — but the sky had released its weight of waters by then. I snapped a picture, nevertheless, of the same grayness. Back at my computer, I decided to compose my new “eye on the sky” image.

It rains sometimes, but it doesn’t deter us from waiting for the silver lining that shows up in the cloud.

Note: Elfje, the Little 11 poetry format was inspired by Ron Leunissen.
