Sky on Fire
Art is not for commodity. It is for passion.
Someone set the sky on fire.
Just now—
in those grey-dark moments
before the day begins,
a match was struck,
a tiny ember glowing.
In minutes it flared
into a red-hot blaze,
burning through
the eastern clouds.
Pastels spread,
yellow,
orange,
red,
indigo,
violet—
a spectrum spilling wide.
No gavel will ever fall
on this masterpiece.
The artist sketched it in a breath,
then cast it into being,
a gift to his
greater creation.
