Descriptive Essay On A Blue Sky

Decent Essays
Rain. We watch it fall on every gloomy day. Drip, drip, drip. I prop myself next to the side of the bedroom window, watching each and every drop of water fall, hit the ground, and end. Over and Over. I stick my hand out the elegant white window, the border between safety and the cruel outside world, to feel the impact of the many tears of the sky. Like the light hands of a baby, the drops of water splash smoothly onto my arm , but seem to disintegrate one by one. The drops are the equivalent of our inevitable demise. A drop created from a rain cloud like a person being born , and each second that it falls , is another year that a person lives in their own life. Each and every drop a humane person going through their lives and it ending …show more content…
Compared to the cloudy and dark sky of which I saw earlier in the day, there was no doubt that the sky above us , in my mind, is a clear juxtaposition between heaven and hell.The bible references heaven as a place above the clouds, the big blue sky represents a clear opening above the clouds to “heaven”. To many people a blue sky would invoke the idea of freedom and calmness where as a rainy and cloudy sky would invoke sadness or suffering which is a lot like the image of Hell. I continued to watch the sky transform into the bright blue sky that represents the heaven that all christians, Muslims and Jews wish to reach. The picture perfect sky that sat right in front of me brought up the question of is reaching heaven actually possible in the eyes of the everyday person, …show more content…
On the trail which sat comfortably on the levi had people who walked on the trail with the utmost calmness of which I am only now discovering. A man and his benien dog were walking on the trail, the man looking towards the ocean, smelling the breeze coming from it , and his dog pulling the leash while trying to run wild across the dirt paved trail.The watchful dog and the man represent our relationship with the one we call God, the omniscient being that many believe in.

As this split second of seeing the ecstatic dog and his tranquil master pass me , I returned to my heaven , home , all safe and

    When she found out she was shocked, “the reason it was deeded to the veterinary students was that the barn had bats and we were the only ones guaranteed to have a rabies vaccination” (Vogelsang 45).

The title also starts the poem’s mood as being sad and dark, because it tells of how a family is missing a father. Dingman also uses the word clan, which would not seem like a normal word to use for a group of children, which sparks the reader’s curiosity.

The narrator may have referred to her broken family as a Clan because she feels like she is fatherless because she misses her husband immensely.…

    Perhaps one of Canada's best and most celebrated poets, Bliss Carman, was influenced by the works of the American transcendental poets, and his ancestors’ beliefs that God's "truth" can be experienced through natural settings (D.Bentley). It is evident that “Vestigia” was inspired by these ideas. This author’s poem, “Vestigia”, is effective in expressing a very mystical and transcendental idea of finding traces of God in all of Creation. Through the use of beautiful, imaginative imagery, the author presents a serene view of the narrator’s surroundings. The biblical theme of the poem also helps to create a very soft tone throughout in the poem.…

    Sometimes I dream that I am again standing at the pathway of the Burkley house. The chimney billowed with smoke, and the magnolia bushes in full bloom; like they once did in that spring time air which curled around your every movement. I dream of again clomping my over-sized shoes against the ever twisting stone path, catching rain drops and petals in my unkempt hair. I will not lie; I do long for the Burkley house, for the essence of my youth still stays trapped in those lengthy hallways. I often forget the blizzards that struck, the lighting that cast us in darkness, the people I met.…
