Fire in the Sky -- by Mimitig

.
Winter grim, dark, cold, wet
Occasionally snow relieves the boredom
Months with little hope

Early March, Spring shows early shoots
Purple and yellow crocus flowers peep
Afternoons eke out into evening
As the sun stays higher in the sky

Days are ever longer, mostly more rain
Then suddenly
Skies clear

All day is fair
Bright blue
Sparkling blue
Just fluff for clouds

Then sunsets start
Before, it was a nothing
Grey fades to dark, no colours
Now all at once the world has colour

Showers of rain
Bring luminescent rainbows

Evening becomes a joy
Fire in the sky
As a sinking sun
Builds castles in the clouds

Vivid colours allow vibrant dreams
Red turns to orange
Clouds that were grey
Take on electric colours

The palette changes
From the dark to
Utter light

Spring has arrived.
