Untold Beauty

Amid heavy cloud cover, the sun broke through to shine. White clouds continued to hover, on the horizon, in a hazy line. The sky, a field of blue, and gray, the sun's rays, here and there. Creating a filmy, softly lit day, described as pleasant and fair. I notice days such as these, more as time moves along. Peaceful beauty that I want to seize, and capture it before it is gone. I let too many occasions slip away, not taking the time to see. Nature's painted picture, on display, right there in front of me. I can't go back, the time is lost. How could I not have known? What I discarded in a careless toss, untold beauty, forever flown.
