Colors of Sky

Colors of Sky

 

Sky grey…

How heavy you look,

Like a black sand bottle shook

Under pressure

Beyond measure.

How deep your rage,

How strong your gage.

 

Orange sky…

How luminous are you,

Like a freshly peeled fruit.

Brightness covers your border.

A hope for a better tomorrow

That relieves all sorrow.

 

Sky pink…

How you welcome the new day,

Like an usher at a wedding in May.

Soft is your touch,

A promise of much.

Calm in your color

In the pallet as no other.

 

Sky grey.

Bloated with grief.

Orange sky,

Safely and surely abides.

Sky pink,

True love’s eyes never blink.

 

When all of these arrive

‘Neath a morning’s sky,

What a sight glorious.

A strength victorious!

 

Sky grey,

Orange sky,

Sky pink.

I agree dear Melinda.
"When all of these arrive
‘Neath a morning’s sky,
What a sight glorious.
A strength victorious!"
My favorite sky is when the sun and moon pass each other at dusk. Thank you dear friend for sharing the amazing poetry. I did enjoy.
