Coastal Sky

Have you ever seen 
A coastal sky
Just after a summer rain?
It offers a tranquility
That only nature can bring. 

And if you get lucky
And a rainbow appears,
Study the colors
Reflect on your years.

For too often it happens
In the fast pace we keep
We take time only to
Work, eat, and sleep.

Study the rainbow,
Marshes and sky.
Reflect on life’s meaning
Before time slips you by.

Think of loved ones,
Both family and friends.
Count all your blessings,
For wrongs make amends.

Life is too precious
And days go so fast,
Live each to the fullest
And learn from the past.

Study the marshes
The rainbow and sky,
Reflect on life’s meaning
Before time slips you by.
