IRIDESCENT CLOUD.... |
Sun
dips behind the clouds
in the sedentary western sky
Tossing
a canister of paints
to drench in its plunging rays.
Strips
of colors
Displaying
fury and helix
Gush out… morph
Into
a gleaming rainbow.
A
strange synthesis
amid world's grandest scenery
grips the evening sky;
Colors,
with tiny swivel of their heels
resembling
little Macaw birds
Leap at the sun rays
clouds go drifting by
colors spray paint the mist
Another Rainbow resurfaces
Flawless-- beautiful and so clear;
But, soon drizzles of rain
But, soon drizzles of rain
come
blustering with winds
blur the rainbow
and stroll back
Darkness
swallows the earth
Lightning
flashes,
changes the regalia
for good...
Displacements
initiate prophesies of change
A new beginning
lays mortality and
mysteries bare---
Super. Excellent photo.
