Distance Is Blue Poem by Sandra Fowler

Distance Is Blue

Rating: 4.8


Sometimes my thoughts exist in your country,
A place, perhaps, too harsh for yellow flowers.
My whisper travels across continents
Distance is blue, to whom it may concern.

The blinding sun of your reality
Cannot obscure the frail frost of the moon.
It casts its magic light on ancient roofs.
There is no language foreign to its form.

A tear or two, my friend, to mist your eyes.
No need to reply with an aerogramme.
You sent your soul in poems long ago.
I think old verse speaks loud for loveliness.

A tear or two, my friend, to mist your eyes. No need to reply with an aerogramme. You sent your soul in poems long ago. I think old verse speaks loud for loveliness. Oh isn't this so wonderful, Sandra; just wrote you that I did not find any new poems on your page and that I would read the old ones and that it would be just as wonderful. Now I'm blessed with this adorable piece that speaks loudly my thoughts, and better still. I'm so happy I found this and read it. it is a special gift to me, Sandra. Mine will be the 30th score of 10. mark

Sandra Fowler embroiders silken images of autumn's romance on the sunset canvas of the soul. CP

Distance is blue....the beautiful Cuillin Mountains on The Isle of Skye are always blue...and distance can make you feel blue. What a beautiful, expressive and thought provoking poem. Thank you for sharing it!
