Glimpses of fire
fleetingly in the sky
turning to smoke
right before my eyes
Stopping to wonder
to watch the changing sky
brilliant colors of the dawn
yellow, white, luminous, alive
caught in the mirror of the clouds
Dulling to gray, blue, purples
softer pastels of darker hues
a different palette all together
in a matter of moments
lost in sameness
a washed tableau
fading from view
