The Beautiful Sky
Look at the blue sky.
What do you find?
The sun! The big sun!
It is always on the run.
Look at the grey sky.
What do you find?
A horse, a cat and a sheep, All ready to leap!
Look at the black sky.
What do you find?
Little lamps all over the place, Shining in grace.

The sun does not run.
The poet wants to say the sun is always moving across the sky.
Again there are no lamps in the sky. Then what are they? They are stars.
The poet does not mean there are real animals in the sky. They are clouds that are shaped like a horse, a cat and a sheep.
