What Color Is The Sky?
A young man asked, “What color is the sky?”
It seemed as tho he was giving me a test.
I surveyed my thoughts, before giving reply;
lest his question be merely a jest.
I answered him: “The sky is completely colorless!”
But my answer refused to satisfy;
ignoring my answer; he revealed his stubborness;
we obviously didn’t see eye to eye.
He asked, a second time: “What color is the sky?”
I answered him: “The sky is invisible!”
He was so frustrated; that I thought he might cry;
he must have thought me an imbecile.
Once again, he asked, “What color is the sky?”
I answered: “Why is it you want to know?”
He gave me a look; and then uttered a sigh;
saying, “I require knowledge to grow!”
“Ok,” I said, “You’ll learn; in the by and by;”
“the knowledge is hidden within you, instead;
in the present, I will attempt to explain why;
this kingdom is not at all like you’ve read.”
He again implored: “ What color is the sky:
how can that knowledge make me grow?”
“You have all life’s answers,” was my reply;
“wisdom is within; when you need know!”
“Consciousness created all you can see;
emanating from within your mind;
you will become, what you’re meant to be;
or you will be left behind!”
