I See Something Special

 

Upon the Thin Blue Line

Imprinted on my mind

‘for one time only’

Nevermore to be

High born shrouds of mystery

Painted just for me.

 

‘Come look, look and see!

Alas! Time will not repeat

This wonderous form for me.

Nature’s divine artist never still

Brushes the canvas anew.

Bilious blooms on canvas Blue.

 

Waste not the precious light

Nor tarry in the ink-black night

The photon-fed messages

Were written for me and you

Life’s tiny droplet water

Tinted white, blinding light.

I enjoyed reading this. A reminder that everything in nature is unique and lasts only seconds as light and weather conditions change and time and seasons advance. 

'Waste not the precious light' ... we forget just how precious that the nature around us is, no matter how simple it may appear.

Thank you for reading it. I love seeing shapes and images in all manner of things and clouds are an endless source of treasure.

The mobile sky can be so calming! Yet another benefit from the simple, yet amazing little water molecule so well designed for its roles in life! Rhiannon

So much we miss if we are not aware, nature captures some of the best paintings, because they're so unique, yet sadly gone as quickly as they came.

Wonderful descriptions in your poem Graham and thank you for sharing.
