| Blue Sky Mourning by Emily M. Parris October 13 - A day in my memory A day I can never forget A day so bleak and somber That I've not recovered from it yet A day when the sky was so blue and deep But the beauty just stuck in my head For that was the day after I found out Our beloved, John Denver, was dead The beauty of the day was like a movie set It didn't match with my feelings at all It seemed almost profane to have blue skies On that cool, cruel day in the fall I walked through the day like a zombie For my world, and my life was on hold I felt unreal on that beautiful day When my heart had so quickly gone cold How could a world full of his sunshine Turn into an empty and soundless void? How could that beautiful singer vanish With all the wonderful songs we enjoyed? It didn't seem real at the time For the sky was too deep and too blue As though it was mocking my mourning With its' bright and mysterious hue It's a day I will always remember But one I wish that I could erase For there is no one like John Denver; No one could ever take his place ____________________________________________ Copyright 2002 by Emily M.
