Colouring by Numbers

I like a good sky.
I'll point it out saying:
Look at that - what a sky!
As my loved ones join in the
appreciation - or humour me.

There have been some great skies
lately, real biblical numbers. You
know - broiling multi-coloured clouds
in impossible unnamed shades where
all you are waiting for is God's
voice booming and His finger pointing
(and I've seen both of those recently too).

My only trepidation is that
all this aerial flamboyance is a sign,
that all those bloody 'Millennium
Doom' merchants are right.
But, if this is Armageddon - it's very pretty.
