The Blanket Of Blue Poem by Sergio D'Amico

I sit and watch a Blanket of Blue
and it dawns on me there is more than one hue
to help me express
my thoughts and desires for you.

I watch this figure with a hazy view
and I try to settle whether this is true,
for what unfolds before my very eyes,
is a vision in my mind not yet defined.

And I sit and wait with amazing hope,
as I see this figure approach through a blanket so blue,
and I try to define what has always baffled the denied,
for the thoughts of man can at times be unkind.

But years shall pass before I will realize,
what this figure was trying to tell my heart,
for the very nature of mankind dictates to us
not to open the doors to our minds.

and now I know about the blanket of blue
which gives my conscience all its hues,
and while I wait for my heart to grow
the sea inside me shall always flow.
