Big Sky

(March 3, 2008)

Sky.
Pale blue.
Bright blue.
Deep, so deep blue.
Clouds form.
Spider-web thin.
Thunderous thick.
Fluffy, puffy, bloated masses
          of water, dust.
Lightening briefly bright.
Blanketing the background.
Scratching the air.
Thunder cracking.
Rumbling.
Bellowing.
Booming.
Deep dark, so dark.
Dots of light.
Red, yellow, blue.
Shifting. Stationery.
Places in the world
          there's scant dark in between.
Worlds discovered, unknown.
Beyond reach.
Hot sun, cool moon.
Rainbows circling.
Arcing.
Moisture bending light,
          touching earth.
Contemplate the big picture.
