Colors In the Sky

"Two doves in white flying, feathers glow beneath the morning's rainbow colors" --Charles Messina Wet black diamond saw slicing rocks Powdered stone slush drizzling, milky veins Spidering over smooth white travertine A pair of lovers skillfully formed Flying parallel through a green granite sky Over gray garden rocky mountains Under an alabaster sun Stretching its rays Over all creation Colors in the sky That dove and I flew through Ten thousand nine hundred and fifty Hot red nights Cold blue days Purple sorrows Green tomorrows And yellow joys All swirled into a dizzying array of Ten thousand nine hundred and fifty Scintillating Masterpieces Painted over the desert hills Viewed from our porch every evening Until the coyotes went howling And the colors of the sky went Stolen by the night She's gone But still I See us flying Every day Colors In The Sky Poetry Contest sponsored by Mystic Rose Rose 12-4-2022
