I forget where I am
when I look at
the sky, it makes me feel
renewed.
The colors bring a lightness
I haven’t experienced
at least for a while.
Greeting me with a sense
of beginning
with a gift of the present
begging me to forget
about the darkness seen
last night.

I am a lucky one
who receives a reminder
each day
of my worth.
Twice a day
I see the bright
orange skies
and I am grateful my eyes
can recognize the
beauty
in a routine
the Earth has
set.
