The Sky At Sunset

Sending this on a day we don't expect to see sunrise or sunset.
But if the lights are on we are grateful.
And if not, hopefully, we are hunkered down to stay warm and dry;
reading poetry and drinking tea.

"I wanted to gather it all and keep it, hold it forever,
but where to store something so large."
I attempt to do this often...try to store the sky in my phone.
It's never successful.  Never lives up to the real thing.
The only place is my memory and we all know how inadequate that is.

"I put the pink glow back in the sky.
It lit the whole world."
My favorite line of the poem.
I want to light up goodness 
into a warm, orange radiance 
and unfurl it into the sky
where it can sweeten every corner of the world.

Namaste
