The sun rising in a clear blue sky is a magnificent place to be
as we watch that heavenly ball of fire rise slowly out of the sea.
It is a work of art being painted right before your eyes…impossible to ignore…
and every day the painting is a little different than the day before.
But there are those special mornings when the sun throws off her restraints
and invites the clouds to join her in the mixing of the paints.
And when the sun begins to paint and the clouds begin to glow
we realize how lucky we are…so we sit back and enjoy the show.
It’s performance art that changes continuously right before our eyes
a swirling, shifting, colorful kaleidoscope in the sky.
And we watch the painting being created…with as much attention as we can
for we know the painting will be finished as quickly as it began.
And it is…for in an instant as we watch…to our mutual dismay
The sun rises higher in the sky and the colors fade away.
So we stop to thank the sun and the clouds with a touch of happiness and sorrow…
sad today’s painting has disappeared…but looking forward to tomorrow.
