A Moment Between the Clouds and I

When I looked up at the morning sky,

There was a moment between the clouds and I

As the sun was rising from the dark

Over the city’s Eastern Park

I think it was just me that saw

Morning puffy clouds galore

Pink tinged beauties all around

Golden yellow hues abound.

I stopped the car in Gilles Street

Got out to stretch my legs and feet.

And there it was, the early show

The morning sky was all aglow

Nature’s beauty all for me

Or anyone who’s up to see

Perhaps there were another few

Who got to have this moment too.

A minute later things had changed

The sky and clouds all rearranged

The rainbow hues had gone from sight

Faded by the rising light.

And off I drove inside my car

Homeward bound, not very far

A sky like this so rare to find

I’ll store this moment in my mind.
