Under The Mackerel Sky

On Autumns' eve in the suns' warm glow
we ventured forth on gossamer steeds
on wings to tame the air and fly
under the mackerel sky.

And sailing on the airs sweet breath
the world unfolded beneath our wings
we watched in silent rapture
the back and forth of earthly things.

We turn and wheel and mount the flow
hot earths bequeathed a bubbling stream
steering through the slop and spray
yet to all aloft remains unseen.

As evenings' prelude begins to play
our cooling feet seek firmer ground
the day complete with a sunsets' blush
and seabreezes throaty cry
under the mackerel sky.

Gary Bennett 16/04/1998
