Colors In the Sky

"Two doves in white flying, feathers glow beneath the morning's rainbow colors." ... Quote by Charles Messina

A flock of doves flying and diving,
only to rise over mountain's crest.
A flash of silver they form, surviving
echoes of rain, as they fly abreast.

Behind, two white doves that fly alone
I wonder why--surely they're not outcast.
They appear as alabaster--Heaven's stone,
Perhaps angelic doves, their purpose vast.

Roused from slumber, zephyr: morning's guest
gently blows raindrops from cloud's face;
as rainbow will soon begin her after-shower quest:
of veiling skies in mists of multi-colored lace.

Toward edge of sky, clouds begin to flow
pause to gaze at sight unlike any others:
Two doves in white, flying, feathers glow
beneath the morning's rainbow colors.

Your love for nature is evident in this write , It is warm and comforting to know that we can all seek morning guests that fly in the clouds towards the edge of the sky, doves and wow a rainbow would clinch such a scene, we should keep our eyes and ears peeled always to nature. We go to a National Park twice a year, i love being among wild animals, from the car of course, it brings back sanity into our chaotic lives in this world of strife. HUGS, Happy Christmas to you & yours my friend. JEN.

Dear Jennifer, Thank you for your comments. I love the wild ones, too. I think Albuquerque may have a wilderness park, but I don't drive distances anymore. You're so lucky you live fairly close to one! Hugs back, and I hope your Christmas Season has been happy!

Wow! Enchanting imagery. I cannot believe that anyone who has seen a rainbow-sky after a shower, or seen through a mist of rain gently falling, an instance rainbow gleaming in almighty seeming radiant light, and yet doubted a Great God within and behind it/us all.
