HIS PALETTE
I have seen clouds like these
Pink, in the late dawn sky.
Creeping through the trees
Still dressed in silhouettes.

Al the while the twitter-ers
The chirpers and the whistlers
Are sounding choruses of light
Singing of olden dreams
Singing of future hope

I have seen clouds like these
Pink, in the late dawn sky.
I often wonder, where does God
Hide his palette? is it
At the end of his rainbows

    The skies are, indeed, some of Nature's most striking arts.

    Nice on coloring the clouds, I enjoyed reading this. It is the first time to see concern for the color choice for the clouds.

    I often wonder, where does God
    Hide his pallette? is it
    At the end of his rainbows

    God is always there for us to wonder. It can't be the same where humans are so frail!
