Colored Skies
I woke to skies of a deep sapphire hue,
very confused not to see shades of a lighter blue.
Something was amiss, then it turned to emerald green.
These were the most unusual evanescent skies I've ever seen.
Something heavy dangled on my chest.
A talisman of sorts from 'round my neck it did rest.
No fear did I hold of it, nor a plethora of any great dread.
Suddenly, the sky broke open and gleamed in a shade of radiant red.
A dulcet melody began to ring quite clear.
It came from the talisman; a chrysalis shaped sphere.
The sky morphed again, into a sunny glowing shade of yellow,
Such an idyllic setting to share with my love, my morning bedfellow.
In the purest state of felicity, we shared a kiss.
In rhapsodic conclusion, we were lost in heavenly bliss.
Above us the sky had restored itself into a deep sapphire blue
while in my lover's eyes I drowned. The talisman freshened our love anew.
