Clouds' Crayon Box

Clouds' Crayon Box

- Joy Krauthammer © 

This morning's magnificent markings of Presence

huge clouds, 

whispers of white fluffs,

overlaid with thin brush marks of translucent black

sun painting radiant white on edges

only as I have seen

from the Masters in the museums.

Sky blue depth of field

wakes up daybreak's display

offering visions of mighty mountains.

Horizon's frame of slender salmon hues

continues committed during this exhibition.

Not enough film in camera

to capture this beauty

my eyes behold

as I hear the birds singing, a symphony

an overlay, a separate track

on this magical marvelous miracle.

Two winged ones--birds fly higher than I've ever seen

feathered creatures that bring me joy.

It's not the Endeavor, paired, crossing the skies

as the space shuttle did this week

with the world watching for its landing.                                       

Time for a new day, one of hope.

The Creative One uses today for canvas, the entire sky

creates a canopy that does not stay still,

endless creations silently travel.

Radiance beaming

beckoning me to give gratitude

and in wonder, photograph, paint, write,

feel in my heart hope, that

peace in our universe…

gathers in like nets in the ocean, bringing us

to see

what can be… .

My 90 year-old friend calls

breaking the silence of speech

shares with me

the awesome orange colors

she saw in the clouds.

She witnessed

the Divine One's sky of dawn.

Chanting passionate prayers for peace

in the early hours,

I missed the orange.

I was too late today

for G*d's colorful crayon box.

I was so immersed in the beauty of the morning gift and then writing that I did not photograph this sunrise, but enjoy others seen in my site:
