emerald skies

splashed with a mass of clouds
clear as water with no crowds
alas, navy encroaches
in the east night approaches
to cover the beauty so temporary
to which there is no contrary
realization good things come only in instants
but still your contentment has no recants
so now enjoy it blissfully
before night has covered fully
live on the hope you'll one day meet
an emerald sky just as sweet
