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.

Often your thoughts exist in my country and it is as well they do. What a wonderful piece of writing this is. As I read it I felt somehow in touch with that something that has always been but is nearly impossible to describe. Yet you go close and that is magnificent so thank you for visiting my country now maybe the yellow flowers will bloom here.

IT SEEMS DISTANCE IS BLUE, IT SEEMS DISTANCE ALWAYS BECOMES GOOD, IT SEEMS DISTANCE ALWAYS GIVES OUR SATISFACTION, IT SEEMS DISTANCE IS OUR DREAMS. IT SEEMS DISTANCE IS FULL OF HOPE, IT SEEMS DISTACE GIVES US THE MEANING OF LIVING. IT SEEMS DISTANCE HAS SOME MEANING, IT SEEMS DISTANCE SOOTHES OUR SUFFERING.

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!
