I like your e.e.cummings brackets, they add something, they show your moments of hesitation and reflected ideas. I like it.

One can never spend enough time looking at the sky — always above and yet sometimes not noticed. Of course this sky is partly metaphorical (a lovely sky to consider also, though).
Well, whatever it is. Notice, I say.
