I look up at the sky.

Watercolour of funny kind of swallow.
~


I look up at the sky
And see the swallows fly
Upon deepening blue
With sunset of orange hue
~
A descending red ball
And then it is no more
For nothing can remain
That out of nature came
~
And soon the heat of day
Will slowly fade away
Just like the fading light
Into the shade of night
~
Everything gently flows
In the wind that blows
And in the setting sun
That’s rising for someone
~
For somewhere someone yawns
To see and hear the dawn
To see brightening skies
Upon the swallows fly
~

Beautiful poem and art. Especially I liked these lines.

'For nothing can remain
That out of nature came'

Very True.

Too very soft,
yet the poem is great philosophy...

In rhymes..it touches one so softly..thats the beauty i behold, as I leave this page...

the art seemed very abstract...prompting to search for layers....

i love your rhymes and art,
see more of yours!
wishes!

Nick you got that special touch at poetry writing, better than what I had seen in a very long time, and those colors are well balanced out too.
