Nothing Is More Beautiful Than The Sky Poem by Mary Angela Douglas

it's everything you dreamed of
and what you wanted too
the apex of the center

and taking every cue
it's everything they told you
and more than any knew

but sometimes
you could throw it all away
to begin a different way

having nothing in your hand
no need to understand how to climb
how to make your life sublime

the simplest thing is true
and it dawns when you are through
with proving what you prove

sometimes, to a discerning eye
nothing is more beautiful
than the sky.
