Diamonds In The Sky
By Patricia Grantham
The bright sun rises above the earth like a sparkling jewel
Shines its light with such radiance and warms the air
Then sets in the west to make a way for the luminous moon
That casts its brilliant shadows all through the night
Her heavenly glow is hidden so that the bright stars can shine
They display their twinkling lights to brighten the universe
Brilliant and radiant clouds suddenly turns blue to gray
Shedding their tears with raindrops that fall softly upon the earth
Saturating the parched ground with its life sustaining water
The rainbow appears in majestic splendor after the rain
Shaped like an arc through the skies with its splash of colors
Reaching across the Heavens like a painter’s work of fine art
Draping the sky like a portrait that was painted by the hands of God
Reaches to the end of the earth like a flashing diamond in the sky
