Aerosol Archaeopteryx – v3

I have seen them flying
In the heavens, the skies,
Across several mornings
In the noon day sunshine
As the day turns to night

Ephemeral denizen of the dawn
Emblazoned on the waking
An aerosol archaeopteryx
Captured for a twinkling
On the heavens, the dome

Feathers and ancient bones
Silhouetted in the tracks of the sky
there only for a fleeting, a few seconds
Like footprints in the new-fallen snow
Darkening blue where they tread

Rimmed with yellow, orange, purples
And their spectra, the color palette
Before the blue canvas
Flying still, soaring,
Across the frozen skies
