Red Sky on this 11th day of the 11th month

Red Sky by Malcolm Coleman

As I walked today I saw black angry clouds,

staring starkly against a flaming red sky,

and yet I was not afraid I could see no anger in the sky.

The sky was displaying, in the way that only it can,

that life, although hard, has moments of incredible beauty,

without which we would all fade out, and I thank you for being my red sky.

The red sky I saw, was not red with anger,

but it was tinged throughout, with the red of love.

A pure form of sweetness, that lasts forever....
