Butterscotch Sky By: Noah Eaton 12/2/01 Nightingales flock on my fence I can see through daylight’s jalousie Gypsy moths spread their chiffon wings against This butterscotch sky in paisley Illuminating His sunlight blanket For our children to wake in glory Reaching for the lemon-zinger morning star Where rests the innocence of happy reveries Cambric clouds of cotton candy soar in a child’s eyes Where angels eloign upon jolly rancher rainbows Debouching heavens chant with compassion Glimpsing young spirits sipping from a jorum of gold And His spirit soars on a gentle honey breeze Crying in joy as every young spirit begins their emprise I can now hear this sun speak Glistening, reflecting the tears from a child’s eyes Slowly I raise my hands To this butterscotch sky And I say, “Thank you, my Lord, For teaching me how to fly!” |

Gypsy moths spread their chiffon wings against This butterscotch sky in paisley Illuminating His sunlight blanket For our children to wake in glory Reaching for the lemon-zinger morning star Where rests the innocence of happy reveries Cambric clouds of cotton candy soar in a child’s eyes Where angels eloign upon jolly rancher rainbows Debouching heavens chant with compassion Glimpsing young spirits sipping from a jorum of gold And His spirit soars on a gentle honey breeze ======================================== wonderfully creative and imaginative writing and imagery in this lovely piece. Marge is going to need a dentist after reading all these sweet treats  well done Poet Noah. jm |
