The Sky

I completely forgot about this poem, that I wrote back in May, here it is...


The Sky
By Aaron Kane

You are a painting by a magnificent artist,
with colors blue, and white.
You are like an umbrella,
shielding us from the sun’s harsh light.

You change as much as a beach after a storm!
In the morning, you are full of glorious beauty,
like a fiery rainbow of reds and purples.
You gleam of radiant splendor!

In daylight you change day by day!
Some days, you are like the Caribbean Sea,
blue and swirly white.
Others you are like a crowd of gray snowmen.

Every day you are in a different mood.
When you are sad, you cry teardrops of rain,
when you are mad,
you release the sun’s burning wrath!

The clouds are fluffy pillows of weightless cotton,
floating effortlessly in the sky.
I can lie in the grass for hours,
watching their endless journey.

Though mankind has littered you,
with smoke and simmering ash,
you still keep us safe from the cold and fiery heat!
Sky, you are truly a marvelous wonder!
