A Sky of Many Colors

~

A sky of many colors
comes to greet me on this day
Awash of nature’s palette
is my early dawn display

The heavens form a canvas
as the brushstrokes create art
Along a clear horizon
when the morning comes to start

Pastel painted swirls
gather for the eye to see
If only you could be right here
and share this sight with me

~

I know what you are thinking, just another dumb 
sunrise poem from Chris’ pen. 
But, if you could see what I see out of my 
office window most mornings, 
you would understand

good morningrhyme

WoW! Chris, You painted such a beautiful scene with your word. It's a breathtaking sunrise. Your amazing pen caused me to see it too. I enjoyed the view, my friend. It's always good to see a poem from you. PS, I didn't realize that I already commented on this. Thanks for reposting this gem. Have a nice day-Alexis

I want you to know that this is a great poem -- your disclaimer totally unnecessary but its intention not unappreciated (!) And what makes t great -- in addition to the wonderful rhythm and flow - is that last stanza about your ache to share the beauty with a loved one. Your heart looms large, my friend! Thank you. A FAVE. Peace and Joy, Gershon

Chris, of course I would never think, just another dumb sunrise poem and this one sounds like a gorgeous one you saw, that inspires me to paint one. Beautifully written and I wish I was there to see it :)

Not dumb not boring, I don't think anyone can say they're tired of a beautiful sunrise or sunset, me I prefer sunsets,( I usually sleep in so I miss most sunrises) but the ones I have seen are just as beautiful, like your words!

Not thinking dumb...Thinking gorgeous and a gift that you share with us. The imagery is so vivid, but I long to see it. Maybe a photo sometime? People here appreciate you, Chris. Don't stop giving from your heart! <3

Thank you my friend. Sometimes it just seems like the same old thing out of me, maybe I was just bored with me. :)

Not a 'dumb sunrise poem' Chris, quite the contrary - it is in itself a wonderful piece of art. A FAVE for me. Best as always...Ron :)

WoW! Chris, I can only speak for myself, I enjoy your sunrise/ morning poems. They are so beautiful. Some folk never get to see "mornings" like you describe. So your "pen" cause your reader to view a wonderful morning. You allow us to see the morning through your eyes, and it looks amazing. I enjoyed the read my friend:-) Alexis

Thank you my friend. It seems we have some of the most beautiful sunrises you could see, but I am a little bias there. : ) Happy you liked this one Alexis.

good morning! if every office had a view like that, there'd be less disgruntled workers ... no rising skies like that here but the sun setting yesterday razed the ashy clouds into glowing embers.. beautiful write Chris :)

imagine calling a staff meeting and as they stream into your office, there you are sitting with a halo glowing around you! You're missing a great opportunity to shine! :))

Thanks so much Susan. It sure does make the work day easier when the views are this beautiful. Happy you got to experience a wonderful sunset yesterday, both are works of art by nature. When I first came to work here the desk faced the other direction. I turned it around because I didn't like the back of my head being tinted apricot each morning. : )

A poem of longing Chris, written as always with creative talent 'If only you could be right here and share this sight with me' Wonderful Chris, truly wonderful! Christmas Blessings, Jennifer.

Thank you so very much Jennifer for all of the kindness you show me. This sunrise this morning was absolutely gorgeous and once again an inspiration

I understand perfectly my friend there is something beautiful and magical In every sunrise...I for one am glad your window allows you to watch and inspires so you share those precious gifts with us. My skies are somber as they have been a lot this year so I love watching the rise through your window of words. Good morning Chris :) hugs

Thank you so very much my friend. I am thrilled you joined me this morning for this beautiful view if only poetically for you. I appreciate you Sandy.

oh I understand! The beauty of the sun rising in the east is like no other. Beautifully expressed as always dear Chris...x:-)-luloo

Thank you so much Luloo for your kind words. I always look forward to your visits.

No one of sane mind should think such a thing. Your east facing window serves as inspiration to you each morning, and if it allows your pen to record it in verses, we all see through your window. Good morning to you, Chris.

Thanks Lin, some mornings it is absolutely beautiful and this was one of those mornings.
