Celebrate the Sky

I have come
to celebrate the sky;
Pink, yellow, orange, blue
Need clouds
to gather such a hue.

No clouds, no beauty.

Sometimes I think
I need a sunlit
clear blue sky.

But when the awesome majesty
of a cloud borne sunset
fills my eye,
Then I know how clouds
can perfect the sky.
