White Line of Clouds

The sky tears into a white line of clouds The Earth below stays seemingly stagnant Up, the show increases along the way The sky shatters into many colors All seems to be divided by the clouds Jettisoned out like a rash lightning bolt Colors are traversing from light to dark Quickly the night reels in, taking over Darkness fills the sky, clouds aren’t visible Rift still exists but only seen in light The vibrancy of clouds will come again The dawn shows a grand display, untainted And the color score will come back to play With tear in place anything can happen
Russell Sivey 10 syllables

Great description of the changing moods of sunset...to sunrise and how worth the wait. All your dreams come true.
