Look To the Skies

Why do the skies of autumn appear so? So bright? So blue? So true to God’s own plan? Or so achingly exquisite, A gift to mortal man. My poor eyes cannot Comprehend The sheer beauty He chooses to extend On such a wondrous day As this, when I can almost Hear Him say This is how I show My love to you: Through your hooded eyes As you look to the skies

The beauty of nature is all around us and I always get the feeling you have described so beautifully in this verse. May your skies always fill you with such wonderment.

Thank you, John. I have other thoughts I want to express about the skies of autumn, which is my favorite season, and your poems inspire me.
