beyond my talent to fully describe what a wondrous sight it was

I think it was the most stunning sky I have seen since leaving

Africa in 1968

I came out of the supermarket to be greeted by the most amazing sky so stunning I stopped and just stared navy blue back ground lined by startling sapphire streaks that were layered. Isles of azure blue all around were dotted and the Clifton suspension bridge framed perfectly as if an artist had just painted it amidst the towers that above it soared. Driving along admittedly gawking nearly crashed fast as possible I got to a clear spot and stared got out heart thumping in pure joy totally bedazzled by the superb spectacle of various blues intermingled. As full dark came away it all faded I rushed home and a pen I grabbed yet I knew that justice beyond me laid it would take a master for it to be captured

I would say you masterfully captured it, dear. I could really imagine this scene. I have had a few jaw dropping moments myself with nature and it's just wonderful when we can hurry and write it all down!!! Great poem. It's nice to catch up with this one you posted a while back.

What a marvelous read from a blessed paged built on lines constructed with the lyrics of the skies and words well supported by dynamic foamy clouds. Message well expressed! No doubt an absolute 7##.
