The Sky is Orange Tonight

The sky is orange tonight.
Looks haunted from my window
but not in a scary way....
OK there's more
Trees rip and roar
Through the skyline, they soar
Clouds pulse white light
Energy rhythm system
Blackbirds take flight
Give what their given
Scared at the thought
Give it all you got
Enough of this talk
Challenge the dead to dance
Swing their bones collapse
Never forget romance
If given half a chance
To breathe on a dusty heart
To kiss the cheek, abrazo
At least, it's a start
The sky crackled, split apart
Tangled web of limbs
Grim veins, life lines wane
The clouds quiet down
You and I, all that's sane
But where do we stand?
Sliding down guitar strings
Twang our way to safety
Austin City Limits
Orange is the new black
Artist gritty with it
Raw power, plugged in
Vibrating sound flung
Crash broken ear drum
Negotiating the sum
Even on a cloudy day
I can see you're the one
Terror of the night sleeps
Sky sighs bright
Adoring your face
Touching your cheek
The glow of this place
Strengthens the weak
The sky is orange tonight.
Looks haunted from my window
but not in a scary way.
