This Magic In the Sky

As the dusk of darkness settles in the 
sky above
The setting of the sun masters 
colors we all love
Stars begin to twinkle, covering the 
heavens at night
As the moon appears in its beautiful 
array so bright

Magically in different forms until it 
comes to be full
The starry dippers chasing one another 
as in a duel
Disappearing as the clouds come into 
sight with haste
The rain falls supplying the earth with a thirst full taste

As the dawning aligns itself with the rising of the sun
Creation blossoms as a result of what the 
rain has done
Blue skies allowing its rays to bear its warmth upon us
White clouds puff across the sky, as large 
as an Octopus

Figures are created with each cloud 
whether big or small
The wind moves the tops of trees, 
whether short or tall
Watching the sun half circle, shading each part of our land
Birds singing in harmony like heaven’s marching band

The magic of beauty  is seen in the 
heavens day and night
Planes flying from east to west until 
they are out of sight
Hot air balloons of all colors rise above 
following the cloud
People watching noisily with clapping hands so loud

Paratroopers falling from heaven framed 
in pictured glory
Flowing with  grace as this majestic
 view tells their story
Children releasing balloons while watching their flight above
Their face reminds us why this magic
 in the sky is so loved
