“Keep it simple”, said the sky
“Set as you would arise”
and the sun said, “No way,
I’m changing every day
and tasting, touching, knowing,
every colour that I’m showing.

Awesome blue laid down the rules;
confine it would the sun’s bright hues
and know from each day into night
exactly what awaits in life.

Blue sky delights in certainty
and the end result of harmony
but from dawn to dusk no magic dust
can overthrow sun’s burning lust.

Light and enflame the fire of need;
this is the sun’s most ghastly deed
done here, there, everywhere, this life
and then into the afterlife.

A witness still and silent sighs
because it too must change tonight
into the dark, so dark of heart
when sun departs into the past.

“Keep it simple” said the sky
“Take me for your bride
so I too can taste, touch, know,
the colours that you show …
from day into the night this life
and on into the afterlife!”

Jo - Simply lovely! Yes, yes! I like - especially as it's a grey and dismal day here today!
