As the Day Turns

Blushing cheeks of horizon--
A kiss of golden sun,
Periwinkle on magenta--
Caress of amethyst dawn.

Floating random motion
Are hazy white clouds,
Humid air combustion
Aroused by the oceans
Is birthing new storm,

As albatrosses glide
On stone-color heights.

Nascent ashen canvas
Exuding accents gray--
Garb of celestial glumness
Harboring fleeting rain.

Behind misty rain drops
Rainbow colors lurk,
Spectrum that glitters--
Radiance of smart prisms.

Music that is heard
Is call of singing birds,
Winds can be seen
Where leaves flutter,

Soft twilight bending--
Art of mauve evening.

Onset of charcoal dark--
Day’s sullen goodbye,
Twinkles in the night--
Welcome starry smiles.
