heavenly puzzle

i looked up at the sky dark yet alight
eyes dancing full of joy

the stars winked in return
teasing twinkling

joining hands in this game of relay
with the clouds
passing messages back and forth
animated.. alive

and i waved full of awe
finding myself a wondrous part of it

joining in this celestial game

beseeching almost
entreating cajoling
these helpful allies

laughing helplessly at their suppressed
air of excitement

as if holding a secret

when i saw the moon trying in vain
to light up my eyes with it's dazzling aside

as i heard it whisper
the sound of your silent flight

but the clouds would have none of it

i could almost feel their mirth
wrapped in empathic playfulness

with a twinkle here.. a cloud racing past there

the moon irrepressible covered hurriedly

endearing little clues
in this heavenly puzzle

as affectionately they weaved this message
of your coming home

the night sky joining hands with me
in this divine wish that says

'welcome home'......
