The Blue Lanterns Poem by MOHAMMAD SKATI

They were Blue Like that color of the blue sea... Like that color of the cold words... Like that color of beauty... Like that of the reflection of the sky's Blueness over the blue sea... Like the brilliant diamonds, The blue color Comforts the eye-sighting, Brings happiness... The city's lanterns were Blue in nature Crossing my imagination into Worlds behind overseas... And how do I cross into remote countries? I keep thinking... The blue lanterns that I do stare at them... They have the answer and They are waving to the comer from afar... They are over there whether If they are available or not, but They will be in my imagination As a truth. _____________________________________________
