Colored Lights

1. Gazing through an airplane window

at the darkened sky,

colored city LIGHTS all sparkled

from my view on high.

A beautiful array of colors

twinkling in the night;

every shade and cheerful hue

was shining in my sight.

2. Earlier while soaring up

through fluffy CLOUDS above,

I envisioned flying like a

peaceful white winged dove.

Once above the clouds

the sun was shining clear and bright.

I was almost blinded by its

piercing dazzling light.

3. NIGHTTIME now had fallen

and such peace covered the land.

With daytime tasks completed,

evening promised no demand.

4. I envisioned GATHERINGS

of people as they sat

enjoying special meals

and a quiet friendly chat,

sipping cocktails bright with color,

coffee, or hot tea,

by a fire, or with refreshments

near a shady tree.

5. Whether underneath the STARS

or in a cozy space,

the colored city lights would

warm and cheer most any place.

Some, enjoying music,

or a movie later on,

would settle down to rest a bit

before the day was done.

I enjoy recalling,

while soaring up so high,

the brightly colored city lights

I viewed down through the sky!
