A Beautiful Sky

A certain recluse, I know not who, once said that no bonds attached him to this life, and the only thing he would regret leaving was the sky.


Do they not look at the sky above them?- How We have made it and adorned it, and there are no flaws in it?  
The Quran, Chapter 50 Verse 6

"And God said, “Let there be lights in the vault of the sky to separate the day from the night, and let them serve as signs to mark sacred times, and days and years,"
Genesis 1:14 


I have seen the movement of the sinews of the sky, And the blood coursing in the veins of the moon.
Muhammad Iqbal

A screaming comes across the sky. It has happened before, but there is nothing to compare it to now.
Thomas Pynchon


Far clouds of feathery gold,
Shaded with deepest purple, gleam
Like islands on a dark blue sea.
Percy Bysshe Shelley


“This is love: to fly toward a secret sky, to cause a hundred veils to fall each moment. First to let go of life. Finally, to take a step without feet.”
Rumi
