I Saw The Amazing Skies With Their Very Own Watercolours Poem by Mary Angela Douglas

I saw the amazing skies with their very own water colours
shine and I felt the shine inside of them the pearl decked clouds
the feeling of music in me

drift, do not drift away I yearned but could not say.
and this was childhood.
they do not teach us this and think we are little because we are

amazed at the
skies and pearled within; they think of us as shells
and require of us school.
and yet without being taught we loved beauty, the high winds;

the little breezes in the rose garden.
and felt we could say things to the stars.
