SHADES OF SKY

Aspects of the sky...

Blue as the flash of a bird’s wing

Pink as the heart of a rose

Flaming with scarlet or silver as ice

Clouds stacked in white velvet rows

 

Storm dark and sullen with shadow

Then spread with rainbow-hued light

Glory of gold sweeps the morning

Mystery spangles the night.

I saw the title and had to choose this as my introduction to your work, Marie. This is both beautiful and surreal, like the photo.
