Believe it or not the sky is blue…
blue all over the world.
From LA to Beijing, the fog has cleared;
doing what Climate Change Advocates
have been unable to do for years…
turning the sky a brilliant blue!
We all know it won’t last
when this awful pandemic has past;
But, for one small moment in time,
we can tell our grandchildren
we saw the sky in every shade of blue,
as we sat quietly quarantined // feeling blue.

Yes, one benefit world-wide with factories and pollution shut down, is the return of clean air. How can we learn from this? What can we do keep the blue sky visible??

There goes a saying, “Without humans, nature will thrive. Without nature, humans will not survive.” …Sigh*

Hey Roth, I visited your blog for the first time today but am impressed. I am too young to comment on the beautiful lines that you write. Blue was definitely an interesting read. Loved the ironic ending. Can I get you to visit our blog too and leave your valuable feedback?
