How do I paint the sky?

Looking up I wonder…….
 
How do I paint the sky?
Capture that glow?
It seems that there is a brand-new planet right next door
Today I’m going find it
 
It has all the goodness of the kitchen pantry
With endless bones filled with marrow
Flowers, so many flowers
Flowers, bursting into more flowers
 
I’m so thankful that mother God has given me the ability to see it
All made from Her precious clay
Like a milk bone falling unnoticed out the box
It is right there for me to enjoy
 
It is everywhere
Up the stairs toward the river bank
Down by the water’s edge
All filled with the comfort that I seek
 
Oh how I wish you humans could see this.  It makes me wonder…….
 
Why do you humans’ breath out your life?
When there is so much to breathe in?
Move through life like a speeding train
Failing to stop at the quaint little towns along the way
 
Today, slow down, look up and consider painting the sky
 
A wink and a hug,
 
Annie
