titanium clouds quickly race by,
immersed in a cobalt blue sky,
chased by billowing paynes gray buffoons
filled with rage, anger and condensation

away in the distance, dotted specks of lamp black
fly high over abandoned barns and fallow fields;
it seems more storms approach, from different directions
dire predictions of a new deluge
followed by a consuming conflagration

and here we sit, smiling,
counting our blessings and pretending
the sun will shine again tomorrow
just as it has done for centuries

but who knows where our World goes
when we are through trashing it
and all its inhabitants

but not being one willing to dwell
within the landscape of gloom and doom,
I grab my palette, re-paint the skies quickly,
loading up my mindscape's brushes
with shades of mauve, amber, cerulean blue,
and dot the landscape anew
with brilliant oranges and yellows,
sap green, splashes of vermillion, too.

And as I offer this view to you,
I wish for all to spring into action
to guarantee that future generations
have a world worthy of their God's view.

Some beautiful words here, Kacy.  
Something elegant, and fine.
