I'm glad God gave us such a sky,
Where we can watch the clouds go by.
In their endless variation,
There's a certain fascination.
Where storms display their mighty power.
Lightning always makes me cower.
There's cumulus and nimbus too
And other strange shapes in the blue.
Stratus, flat and colored gray,
Often brings some rain our way.

On crystal nights, I look to see
The stars, in all their brilliancy
And the many constellations,
In their vast, appointed stations.
There, fey Aurora adds her lights
In northern climes. On winter nights,
Who can resist a blooming moon?
Artemis grants this monthly boon
And any season of the year,
Is beautiful because it's here.

The sun, of course, our welcome friend,
Provides us bounty without end
And sunsets often paint the sky
With colors that delight the eye,
Reminding us each day, that He
Provides us this variety!

I love this...whenever I look to the sky I am always reminded that God is right behind that cloud, or beyond those dark skies. How wide is the sky and is God's heart! Thank you very much for sharing this with me, it really lifted my day! You are truly a wonderful poet.
God Bless and Keep Smiling

A lovely poem. As I was driving home from Seattle today, I kept watching the sky. Light and fleecy clouds, then dark clouds. It was as if God were teasing me. Tomorrow I want sunshine, so I can work in the yard. We'll see what God has in mind. joyce

He paints the moon
Embellishes the sky
Glittering starlight
Passing by
And just when
We think He's done
He comes about
With brilliant sun

*Your lovely canvas of thought had me putting on a poetic smock !
Thank you !

Dear Joyce:
Thanks for your remarks. I hope your week-end trip was fun and relaxing. It is very cold here again, with only intermittent sunshine.
