The Colors of the Sky~ By Phoenix Jane

4/4/2018

People who do not enjoy the sky
Their reasoning evades me
How do you not love these colors
That change before your eyes daily?

How do you not love
Cotton candy pinks
And baby blues?
Shimmering golds
And even greens of the softest hue?

Do you not enjoy
A midnight sea
Dotted with white freckles and splashes?
Dark grey, a bright flash
Paired with thunderous crashes?

Neon pinks,
Blood reds
Seen just as the sun
Lowers her head

Soft yellows
And gentle blues
Witnessed as the moon
Disappears from view

Red oranges and purple pinks
Fade into a sky
Pitch black like ink

All these colors make up "sky"
And no one can truly deny 
The beauty of blues and blacks and greys
All put together in this array

Oh, of course 
There's the basic hues
With fluffy white clouds 
That danced as the wind blew

But lest not forget
The grace of technicolor views
Colors so damn riveting
But only lasts a few

Oh, the sky's a work of art
Nature herself played a part
This glorious mix of colors
Each so different
One is never another

So yes, I am fond of the colors of the sky
Every single one passes through my lips
with a loving sigh

And looking towards it
Is nothing short of a gift
And maybe, just maybe,
It gives my soul a lift
