The Sacred Blue

questions drift like clouds across a velvet sky a what and then a where and three is asking why what I know of man and what I know of earth tells me the what and where the why adds up the worth the sky turns from velvet into a pastel day the sun ignites its fire to melt the fog away the blue whispers to me still you may ask me why I breathe the air to hear a sacred lullaby and as the murmur fades I close my eyes to see the beauty of the earth the glory of the sea the why is joy and life and I will seize them too the wonder of the gift of awesome sacred blue
