I see voices in the sky



The sun
the clouds
the sky
are born
and die 
each day
they reflect
golds and oranges and reds
from the beauty
of their minds
I wonder about
the sky
 the clouds 
 the sun
the colors
 Have
they just been sired

or 
are they 
at the end of their time
Have
 they traveled far

Are 
they born again
 for

 inspiration
are 

they dying 
to 
show the way
 it is 

plain to see
that

 either way
 They are
just as beautiful
 a lesson 

 to 
continue to shine, 
a lesson
to 
continue to be 
even as we
start to fade away
