Magenta was the sky

The sky calls out in shades of love

Magenta was the sky

By Jack Ivey

 

 

Magenta was the sky this morn as I approached the day

Ominous of clouded rose in petal’d full array

Quietly it called to me o’er whispers on the wind

As if some scented power was a’ touch upon my skin

 

Engulfed in life’s serenity, so overwhelmed with fear

A brush of fate in simple terms as if the end were near

I stood to bare my feelings now a swirl in my mind

In hopes of some off distant dream so soon would come to find

 

Counting off the many tasks which brought me to this place

The reasons that did hold the time my sequence now did waste

Lost of any angered tears when captured on my brow

To cry, if it has come to be, then let it find me now

 

On my knees, the autumn ground is chilly to my touch

With gathered hands to here my chest, this future I do clutch

Loneliness companions me though still of wandered hope

I pray that what will come before my soul shall bear to cope

 

When suddenly a light appears, a magic in its sheen

A softer glow, this lightened mist of heaven’s tangerine

To touch upon the darkness in a spirit calling true

In witness to the morning sun that feeds the skies of blue

 

My heart beats now elated in a dance of utter bliss

As memories of long ago, I find they do exist

The rising sun to spill its charm in beacons shone above

This warmth I feel, rekindled flame, aglow within your love

 

The doubt did come of weakened state, a mind that was unclear

A hollow moment filtered in through thoughts of you not near

Alas the dreams of only one now obvious of two

For on this day, the rising sun, brings me the love of you
