High in the sky today

 High in the sky today 

That sky alone today, without a cloud, shining 

in all those shades, not always easy to achieve 

painter, palette, canvas 

lightest along the line, horizon

as it rises from the earth 

through indigo and violet, over head 

luminous and lovely, mesmerising 

surely a piece of poetry, singing

high in the sky today.

  1. There is something so uplifting about a sky such as you describe, maybe they can't be painted just imagined through a poem?

  2. I think you’re right Jude, painting can’t really do the luminous sky justice.
