One Day by C. R. Daugherty

One Day


Beneathth a sky of greymaulkin a shroud


Arise our sun in royal blue delight


With rays to scatter overhills the cloud


Of all encompassing the sacred night






Though storm be passed, still rise the candlelight


A harmony reflected in the dawn


Cerulean beholden in our sight


The hues intoned by avian anon






Suffuse into our home the colors drawn


From palette of creator in the sky


Our shade and cyan lift the birds in song


To lilt and chitter nature’s reveille






A window sky of periwinkle sees


Our sun ascend to heights of summer blaze


The wisp of cirrus whisper on the breeze


The grain on which we ruminators graze






The sun across the sky in spectral rays


May heavens hide in cloud his blazing smile


And for our love of brazen summer days


Be lifted up our life to reconcile






Forevermore the cosmos in her style


To birth her life in heavens of a name


A sable sentry night of winsome guile


All through the night the light remain the same






A serpent circle seemingly untame


Our nature lends to dusk in colors bold


And lambent yet at once be nature’s claim


The cycle always new and known of old






Awaiting for the sun deliver gold


With rays to scatter overhills the cloud


An azure night retreats into the fold


Beneath a sky of greymaulkin a shroud
