Eye in the Sky

Eye in the Sky

Armies of flowers parade
Climbing hillsides of white jade
White plums outshine the winter moon
Radiance so bright day and night wed

Till blasts burst all skies
Flames rise so high
They scorch my orbital eyes
I build them back and scan the stars
Searching for old friends

Below I see a planet
Half ice, half dust;
Swollen seas and pitted plains
Black trees on white ground
Letters in a book
No one can read

The colors are gone
Where is my blue world?
