    If I Could Drink the Sky

    If I could drink the sky, I would drink it at dawn
    When the air is cool and fresh
    And tastes of new beginnings.
    I would drink it when the birds begin to sing their lovely songs
    I would drink their sweet melodies
    I’d let them fill my lungs.
    If I could drink the sky, I would drink it in the morning
    The fresh taste of sun and a gentle breeze
    A sunrise that’s sweeter than berries
    When yawns from early risers resound like bells.
    If I could drink the sky, I would drink it at noon
    A thick, heavy warmth would fill my senses
    The light from the trees would pour through the leaves
    The taste of chartreuse green.
    If I could drink the sky, I would drink it in the afternoon
    The misty, smokey flavor of settling down
    The sighs and the laughter of leisurely fun
    I would drink it with delight.
    If I could drink the sky, I would drink it in the evening
    When the sun begins to sink
    Like a golden globe in the sea.
    The vibrant flavors of sunset
    The dense, beautiful tang of the air turning dark.
    If I could drink the sky, I would drink it at twilight
    The sparkling flavor of mystery
    The smoothness of the crepuscule
    Would rush over me like a wave.
    If I could drink the sky, I would drink it at dusk
    A dry, gray time
    The taste of yawns and smiles
    And rumors of sleep.
    If I could drink the sky, I would drink it at night,
    The pitch black night, when the air is sweet and bitter
    Sometimes weak, sometimes strong
    I drink the air and wait
    For the flavor of dawn.
    The taste of newness
    Of triumph and hope.
