The Day Dawned Bright And Blustery

The day dawned bright and blustery

The new spring sun slipped a big wink

Through the ever-changing grey clouds

And the skies then blushed rosy pink.



A silver lining shone up high

As pinks turned to mauves and blue.

I saw the panorama change,

To a different astounding view.



As the windswept skies cleared quickly

The orange sun changed its colour

To peach and then to golden tones

Still beautiful, not quite duller.



How fast, how quickly it happened

From sublime to ordinary.

I’m grateful that I stayed to watch,

Awed to have seen the morn vary.
