Watch the Sky

This morning 

I looked out

and saw 

a gray and 

cloudy sky.

"It's going to rain," 

I thought,

and pulled on 

my light jacket.

This afternoon

I looked out

and saw

beams of light

shining through

the dark curtains

like celestial rays

heralding angels.

Perhaps I was wrong.

This evening

I looked out

and saw

a ruby sun

settling in the 

western horizon.

"How beautiful,"

I thought,

and captured

the memory in 

my heart.

Tonight

I looked out

and saw

the first star rise.

I wished upon it

like a little 

child

and dreamed

of the heavens

singing.
