Why are you coloured so blue, <br /> O sky! is this your natural hue? <br /> Not a fiery red, nor a fertile green, <br /> nor a passionate purple nor a pretty pink? <br />over this world entire, a natural cover, <br /> How many worlds more do you shelter? <br /> <br /> How far above us do you hover? <br /> Has anyone succeded in coming near? <br /> The birds yonder flying so high- <br /> seem caressing you in their flight! <br /> what secrets do you them reveal? <br /> What blueness do you them impart? <br /> <br /> Soft to touch like a baby's skin <br /> smooth, unwrinkled silky and clean. <br /> You are so delicate and frail <br /> but can still withstand any gail! <br /> How many mysteries do you conceal? <br /> <br /> The fluffy clouds flitting casually, <br /> seem conversing with you jovially, <br /> The Sun, the moon and the stars, <br /> share with you a bond of joy! <br /> Can we ever aspire to be your pal? <br /> <br /> You are the gateway to the Heavans, <br /> Where the Gods reside with their brethren; <br /> But you are a screen fully opaque- <br /> thick and dense, difficult to penetrate. <br /> When will this heavy curtain rise? <br /> When will we glimpse the promised land?<br /><br />Resty Rivera( PHILIPPINES)<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-blue-cover/
