Aerosol Archaeopteryx – v4

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 had gone.

Rimmed with yellow, orange, purples

And their spectra, shades of color

Before the blue, the canopy

Flying still, forever

Across the endless skies.

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

Aerosol Archaeopteryx

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

Feathers and ancient bones
Silhouetted in the tracks of the sky
Like footprints in the new-fallen snow
Darkening blue where they tread

Rimmed with yellow, orange, purples
And their spectra
Before the blue
Flying still
Across the dome
