Laura Mckenzie Poet Rhyme

Sky Painting

Scrolled out in the heavens
It started this evening at about seven
 
Over the horizon a pallet of colors appear
A mega glimpse of the atmosphere
  
A burst of heaven just showed its face 
With pink and red all over the place 

Caressing my mind 
Mother nature has combined
 
Her blueprint, with a splash of wine
A message from Gods shrine  

A bit of purple and orange to 
All mixed in with a sky of blue
 
She spread them out for all to view 
Each one is different in its hue

A sailors warning, a lover dream
Stretched for miles at least it seems 

It’s beauty untouchable and rare 
Positioned above for all to share 

No two are the same 
The universe has proclaimed 
Sky painting

Marycile Beer August 18, 2008 at 9:03 AM Yes, Laura I can see it and have seen it. Last nights sundown was fantastic here in Casper. I must admit I have fallen in love with my new Home On The Range. Look forward to moving into my new home in a few weeks and then I will really be at home on the range. Keep up the beautiful work, God Bless, Cile
