Past The Blue

It's my blue sky,
So pure and blue,
There's nothing else
That shines so true ,
I hope it lasts forever!

A bit of red
Is creeping in,
Changing blue
To violet hue;
But never mind,
I like it fine,
It really looks quite clever;

Some yellow hues
Have joined the red,
And turned to
Brilliant gold instead;
I didn't think I'd like it but
It really is outstanding!

And when it touches
My blue sky,
A green so bright
Lights up the sky
And makes a scene enchanting;

That sky that I
Perceived as blue,
Was so much more
Than my small view,
Its beauty has a depth so vast,
A sea forever changing;

Every life contributes
A thread of priceless hue,
Unraveled lives we chance may meet,
Without them we are not complete;
Each time we add them to our blue,
God says, "Yes, that's brilliant!"

The amazing thing about life is how it promotes diversity. With each new generation, the chance of procreation can create amazing new life never seen before on the planet. Some thrive and some don't, but the result is that every niche in every cranny is filled with life longing to express itself. Your poem speaks of colors. All we have to do is look at nature and be dazzled by the colors created.
