Expect to have hope rekindled,expect your prayers to be answered in wondrous ways! The dry seasons in life do not last,the spring rains will come again.

Oh Skies ,bright and elegant;
how thou instill serenity and hope in this quivered mind,
lined by infinity,smothered with delightful moods.
Thou stand high,
drawing a path to effervescence.

Oh Skies disquiet and dread,
lighting and thundering,
down pouring, letting it flow from your bosom.

Oh Skies mystic and ecstatic,
opulent with perspicacity:
shining with the shine conceived through every season that thou pass.

Oh Skies of wonders, how thou portray this soul so absolute.

Oh Skies painted with a tint of pink thither,
smeared with orange hither,brushed with red far and wide;
how beautifully thou recapture the memories.

© Jacob W., Oklahoma City, OK

Hi, compassion! here's my constructive and honest comment: I really like this but maybe you could use something else for the opening of the verses aside from Oh, skies. I just think it's a little repetitive but it's alright as it is.

So classical! Classical styles usually portray more emotion and they usually reach the audience. Yes, I like this. :D Keep it up!

Very well written.  Some of those words are hard to make work, and make them work well, especially at the teenage level, well done.
