SKYWATCH FRIDAY


Celestial
Innocent resurrection, blue
radiance in your morning window.
The only blue but for
a robin's egg,
a parakeet feather,
a reflection in the Caribbean Sea.
Bird arrows, hawk's wings,
slashing contrails intersect
the tendons between Earth and forever.
The disconnect of clouds,
opacity blocks our view
of a pure and singular blue.
From this terrestrial ball
sunset meets moonrise
in a sizzle on the horizon.
Then the colorless glow,
the kiss of moonbeams
shining in your night window.

The clouds in your photograph reminded me of lace. Lady and lace. Nice photograph.

What a lovely photo, Diane.

I love the concrete details: robin's egg, parakeet feather.

And I adore the lines "sunset meets moonrise / in a sizzle on the horizon."
