The Roof of Roofs

Imagination simply staggers with its grandeur The beautiful, ever-changing sight on earth Enveloped the earth in its colourful panorama Golden glow announces the dawn in the east, In the west, crimson sky bids the day adieu Royal canopy of blue, Royal canopy of gray, Royal canopy of resplendent white, A majestic canopy of ruddy hue All giving a grandeur haven A red sunrise presages a red sunset A white billowy, cotton-like cloud says a fine day is here A Gay featherlike cloud says the rainy season is here Like children about their parents, Straggling cloudlets surrounds the white cloud How magnificent it is at night with the starry design! Fluffy clouds! billowy clouds! fleecy clouds! Almost daily across its broad highway Parade clouds of every size and description. Each cloud assumes an infinite variety of shapes All creations of perfect art across its broad highway Dazzling masterpiece of beauty Its scopes are worthy of the finest carpenter. The wonderful work of the one with perfect knowledge This royal sky

Oh! Freddie, that's astonishing. It is just the art of God we tend to ignore. I am glad to receive your comment
