"Unseen Sky" - A Poem

Scot Westlake
"Unseen Sky"

Sunset deep and shining so bright,
can no one else behold this sight?
Yet cars just honk and pass me by~
Why does this fool ponder the sky?
But it holds me fast~
these Heaven-sent hues.
What care I if others see it too?
For some are born to see the light~
while some with eyes have lost their sight.
But, oh! What a wonderful world it would be
if for one magic moment those unsighted could see... To feel such a promise
Each sunset writes in the skies.
And to see such a thing
with their heart, not their eye
To stop for a moment
and let life go by
and to learn for themselves
why fools ponder the sky.
