Each Day a Beginning

In the stillness

Of morning

Black as coal

The sun

Just beginning

To rise

Oranges are

Tangled with

Neon pinks

Shadows of

Dreams

Slip away

The world

Comes to life

Once more

Note:

Is the old adage “Red sky at night, sailor’s delight. Red sky in morning, sailor’s warning” true, or is it just an old wives’ tale?         Within limits, there is truth in this saying. Have you ever heard anyone use the proverb above? Shakespeare did. He said something similar in his play, Venus and Adonis. “Like a red morn that ever yet betokened, Wreck to the seaman, tempest to the field, Sorrow to the shepherds, woe unto the birds, Gusts and foul flaws to herdmen and to herds.” In the Bible, (Matthew XVI: 2-3,) Jesus said, “When in evening, ye say, it will be fair weather: For the sky is red. And in the morning, it will be foul weather today; for the sky is red and lowering.” Weather lore has been around since people needed to predict the weather and plan their activities. Sailors and farmers relied on it to navigate ships and plant crops.
