Skywatcher Show

On the prairies
in the  land of the living sky
a passion for watching
the infusion of colours 
as clouds endlessly float by
some lined with silver
others the purest of white
from thick heavy laden clouds
to thin feathery strands
with the sun's reflections
the skies become alive
from golden yellows
to soft and vibrant pinks 
red and  rosy hues
moody blues  to dreary grey
to orange evenings sunset glow
always a sky watchers magical show.

Glad to hear Lisa is back. I just posted on that poem. I like watching the sky and all the colours too. Had laser done on both eyes last week after cataract surgery. Now need new glasses as eyes did not turn out like we expected. love phyl
