Watercolor Sky

Watercolor Sky

Some days are so brilliant they announce their end

by painting a beautiful watercolor across the sky.

Riotous colors and various hues

imbue themselves in my mind.

I put them my pocket

to savor later.

“What is life?

It is the flash of the firefly in the night.

It is the breath of a buffalo in the wintertime.

It is the little shadow which runs across the grass and loses itself in the

sunset.”

**Crowfoot (1890) **

(Blackfoot warrior and orator)

 

The setting of the sun does not only signal the end of the day but sings out the promise of a

new tomorrow.
