![]() Skies So GrayA Poem by Sarah MarieDid God forget To paint the sky today? It seems so cold, Clouded, and gray. Sweet sunrise came But startled my stare, For my eyes failed To focus on a sky so bare; Sunlight shone Through the clouds, But it revealed no warmth Nor color proud. The melancholy morning Could not deny The dismal details Of this dreary sky; Noon knew not when To rise nor what to do, For it relied too greatly On the midday’s blue; Afternoon appeared And tried to alter The sky, but the gray Refused to falter; Evening approached While day said goodbye, But the falling sun Could not affect the sky. Night now threatens The day’s sky to take, But, suddenly, Its colors awake- To the ends of the earth The colors stretch and run, Wishing the world a good night Before the setting of the sun. I think God just remembered To paint the sky today; For tomorrow’s color I will have to pray- A vibrant sky is my cry For now and forever; Though, I suppose, It is better late than never.© 2014 Sarah MarieReviews
