The Endless Dome of Change

            Rachel R La 2

 

The sky is ever changing, never resting.

The sun is a gleaming but mysterious sun,

 for no one has ever looked it in the eye.

 Dreamy clouds loll across the horizon.

The startling blue is always clear and swift.

 All seems bright until gold wisps blend

 with soft hues of pink and violet that cradle the setting sun.

 A creeping dark, a moon so radiant!

 But nothing can top the glittering stars.

 They seem so close, but all the same, very far away.

 They tease, yet sing a lullaby.

 They hear everything and give a gentle peace.

 A midnight blue will devour the black,

 then a hazy pink,

 and at last golden rays of sun

 will engulf the earth once more.
