Impossibilty <br /> <br /> <br />The sun has set beyond the hills but the afterglow still spills <br />pure pastel colours across the sky. Demonstrating artistry <br />few human artists dare believe that they can ever achieve <br /> but still they feel that they must try. Although their efforts testify <br />it is a task beyond their skill. A dream that they cannot fulfil. <br /> <br />Their earthly palette can’t supply the heavenly colours of the sky. <br /> So they retire disconsolate the light has gone, the hour grows late. <br />Tomorrow they will try anew; it’s something that they have to do. <br />Compelled, obsessed and driven by, a burning need to paint the sky. <br />They must continue and they will. Attempting the impossible. <br /> <br />4-Dec-06<br /><br />ivor .e hogg<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/impossibility/
