Sky Variations

This time of year
I have my morning coffee 
while watching the sun rise 
over the woods behind my house.

It's surprising the tremendous 
variety of colour in the dawn sky.

But you must be quick,
the colour dissipates
in a flash!

This first, was an unpromising,
 cool, gray morning 
until the sun began to rise 
over the tree line.

This second example
is based on photos 
taken of Lake Ontario.
In my part of the world
 the only place 
one gets an unobstructed
 view of the sky.

Overnight a storm 
had passed over the lake 
and the dawn light 
had an eerie quality.
