Colors In the Sky

"Two doves in white flying, feathers glow beneath the morning's rainbow colors" QUOTE BY CHARLES MESSINA Vibrant hues, excited blue – silent azure Cerulean and sapphire, swirling A mystery through the dawn, bravely awakening The birdsong, the sunlight’s hope, joy Beyond thoughts, like psalms Kissing the fading stars, erasing the moon With laughing shades of tangerine, gold Brilliant hints of roses, blooming Blushing like the whispers of wonder Pouring from heaven, Caressing the breaking of a new day Enthusiastic and elated – sensations Growing, gentling the night With remembrance, memories alive Like the quiet dreams beckoning Breathing grace through the skies Opening stardust smiles, Paradise moving past the echoes Nocturnal bliss shedding its skin, Awaiting the moment when temptation Ceases to play a role in the feeling, The humbling sigh of a quiet dewdrop Stroking the petals of a dandelion Remembering to listen for morning’s muse Stirring hope in every heart – laughing, teasing Promising that sunrise will erase all doubt Love’s murmuring light, from the dove’s flight Graceful and praying for the peace That only comes to those who know The One who created every sky, every smile… Every morning, with the assurance That night’s tears – her fears Guarantee a darkness that each morning clears Listen to the laughing charms of a dawn Who calms every dread, every gray cloud… With assurance that love brings out joy Joy that abides in dawn – beneath the colors in the sky!
