I know why the sky is blue. I know it has nothing to do With how it is lit or what it is made of. I know what lends it the flawless shade of Intensely rich cerulean azure Against which all other blue is measured. It is She so dear gazing up at the sky Where I see mirrored the blue of Her eyes. I know why the sun is golden, Not white sapphire as others are. It is not because the sun's olden Fires burn slower than other stars. In truth, he draws a golden veil To shade a face of fierce blue-white So as across the sky he sails, He bathes Her in a gentler light. I know why the flowers bloom, To lure no bee with sweet perfume. Nor do they open their hearts to the sky In hope of the hummingbird's darting eye. They spread wide their petals in wonder and awe Of the most unforgettable Flower of all And waft their sweetness around Her there So She may breathe a softer air. I know what no others know, Why the oceans ebb and flow. They rise and fall but not in tune To the beck and call of a wanton moon. 'Tis heaven's most entrancing Daughter Whose breathless beauty enchants the waters To rise from the abyss in a surging throng And kiss the earth She has walked upon. |

I would say that you are most assuredly in L-O-V-E!!!! What a grand and poetic gesture of your adoration for "She". ~ "I know why the sky is blue." ~ "It is She so dear gazing up at the sky Where I see mirrored the blue of Her eyes." That is sooo ding dang romantic! However, I fear that everytime I look up at the sky from now on, I will be reminded of "She"! lol EA |
