Sky

The sun reclines onto a dreamy pool of chiffon

Rich with hues of tangerine and persimmon

Periwinkle, azure and all flavors of sherbet cream

The third-eye aperture blinks to capture a gleam

Only to dissolve in memory’s fickle flight

A polaroid processing in a dance of reversal delight

The sky has many lessons to teach

Secrets revealed only to those who care

To look up

Stop

Stare

Hope’s simple recipe of love and thanks

Is also knowing that the sun will set

Its colors will fade

Ushering in a night full of stars

Or rain

And tomorrow

A new day
