The sky oh how it embellishes
The magnificence of the empty
Dreamy wistful blankness
Wondering its kept me

The capture of the sunlight
Icy breath of the wind
The clouds what a sight
See the beauty deep within?

Fresh moisture in the air
Rain droplets on your nose
The clouds did their share
Puzzle of sky you knows

The sky is flowing
The sky is bright
The sky has dark shadows
Imitating night

When you look up into the haze
Don’t close your eyes
Don’t be dazed
Look beyond where the sky lies

I really enjoy sunrises and sunsets and other optical illusions the sky gives. Besides unicorn-shaped clouds of course.

I really like how you compared the wind to "icy breath". Nice metaphor.
