The Illuminated Sky
The saffron sky,
the carmine clouds,
the coral colors,
everything was so beautiful.
Sadly, from my house
I can barely see
the sunsets,
there’s too many trees and other houses
blocking
the little I can sometimes see.
In Colombia
my grandparents house
is perfect
on top of a hill
higher than the trees,
you can always see the sunset.
One day
driving on a highway
we were going about 120 km/hr,
the sky was breath taking
prettier than the night sky
when there's a full moon.
Dashes
of red and orange
like a dart of paint
that hit bullseye
and splattered
into a lovely mess.
I tried to take a picture
but it just wasn’t the same
my phone
couldn’t capture the moment,
I still have a picture though
in my mind.
The saffron sky,
the carmine clouds,
the coral colors.
I blink
and the sky turns grey
everything is dull again with
trees in the way,
nothing to see,
why couldn't it stay longer?
I wish I could go back.
