arms filled with

Neighbors,

on lawns

open mouths.

Strange light

we view as with

unearthly lens

Nature reflects

golden sky

unsullied

by any thought

of blueness.

We reflect,

Our skins,

alien hue

illuminated

from without.

alas, not

from within.

Answer 1

Our strange sky occurred during the California fires - our sky was pink.  The sun's reflection - cast a rosy glow to everything around - including us. It was a strangely calming color - even though - the true cause of it - was highly dangerous ♥

Answer 2

I love that!  Very insightful!

Answer 3

I'm probably off the mark here, but it reminds me of tornado season when the sky turns that eerie green/yellow color before the storm arrives.

Answer 4

Once in a great while, the evening sky here is totally unreal...we stand in awe...but there are those who continue on with their business as though nothing is happening.

Answer 5

i feel i am in the middle of a crushed city,,

good work although . . . i dont know what? maybe "dark" i would call it

Answer 6

When I was probably 11 or 12

The sky was the most ominous heavy shade of yellow grey and orange.. heavy and ominous.. I felt that I was standing beneath a sky that would open and suck me up and away.

The air was heavy and stuck to my skin and my trepidation was heavy for my small person to handle.

Answer 7

The illumination of the connection between the soul. Beautiful poem, C...I am in awe, you always say so much with so little. I do believe you have conquered EWD (Excessive Word Disorder) - to use a term of Elaine's.  

Answer 8

No exacly golden sky but breathtaking Southern Florida is about to be hit by a major dust cloud, blown across the Atlantic Ocean from storms scouring sand from the Sahara Desert.

notable effect of dust clouds is prettier sunsets, thanks to the increased number of particles in the sky, which the Sun may reflect off
