Fire Cloud Phenomenon
Once the sun has risen higher than
fifty-eight degrees in the sky,
and the hexagonal ice crystals
are horizontally aligned,
an optical illusion of a fire
rainbow reaches way up high,
with the sun setting at an angle
where it cannot decline.
You can gaze at this phenomenon
during warmer weather,
beauty reveals itself in each reflection-
Each cloud above must be light as a feather,
and when closer to the equator
you can see a better connection.
Hues of crimson leading into
deep shades of plumb,
shines with blazing gleam
in this captivating spectrum.
Swirls of prisms glowing with
kaleidoscopic majesty,
makes my imagination run
wild into a world of fantasy.
A painted picture of a chimera
universe so very pleasing,
you must look while you can,
before the sun begins ceasing.
This phenomenon has been
around for many generations,
and is one of the most beautiful
God-given creations.
