An Adjuration From Azure Skies
A Azure heavens charged with God’s delight
N nestle fine-spun ‘round the radiant sun.
A Adjuring men to look up outdoors -
D directing hungry eyes towards blue skies,
J just for a few moments every day.
U Utopian azure blues can defuse
R restless moods and cantankerous minds.
A Azure laced with white clouds, a pleasant sight
T to behold and laud the Lord’s glory.
I Insights adjure praise as you fix your gaze
O on the divine splendor of nature;
N now, let peace and tranquility increase.
an acrostic of alternating 9-10 syllable lines
