Morning white smooths into light blue,
the light blue deepens to azure in the afternoon.
A touch of orange, a hint of red, sudden explosion.
Now between the clouds, as the sun goes down,
a brush of lavender quickly thickens to maroon.
A blanket of black comes to fill it all in,
and just as we thought the Earth could quiet down,
the lights in the sky illuminate the space to do it all again.
