Ellen Gwaltney Bales Poet Rhyme

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

May your skies always fill you with such wonderment. Ellen Gwaltney Bales February 3, 2023 at 8:35 PM 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.
