Sunrise and Sunset-What Hand

Swirls of pink, caress purple hues
Who's brush strokes then did beauty choose.

What hand, what artist filled the sky
To set before admiring eyes.

Who dabbed the colour on tinted cloud,
No mortal has such skill endowed.

In all her glory, for all to see
Nature, donned her finery.
