Grateful for the Colors of the Sky

The colors of the sky provide a heavenly calendar, for every upward glance tells us something--the time, the weather, and the changing seasons. Through all our days and nights, the colors of the sky tell us who and where we are in the universe.
The eastern sky’s pure Yellow and Gold awaken us each morning;
Wherever you are in the world, if the sun is directly overhead, the time is noon.
Its harmful rays weaken as it makes its way down.
Blue brightens all seasons, sharing the sky in endless patterns with White;
Gray warns of showers headed our way;
In tiny flakes or thick comforters blanketing the sky, White announces the arrival of winter;
Orange, Blue, and Violet bring the twilight of evening;
Black means the day we knew as “today” is over.
We are grateful for the colors of the sky as they lead us through the day; fires and battles may alter them, but not for long.
Thank you, Fran, for sharing your gratitude with me!
