What Colour Is the Sky In Your World???

How can I tell them she's not one of us? we all came together we all share a trust the storm rages wildly just outside the door if they put her out she can't live anymore she doesn't seem different ,she looks just the same as all of the astronauts children who came for the reunion of dreams from that age where living in space was the ultimate rage Late on the evening of our first arrival we bantered a little about our survival she asked me to take a late walk through the dusk the third moon of Magnus was nearing it's cusp eerie thin light held a cascade of blues sweeping her visage with comforting hues her mother was chosen to walk through the stars and she was born after a mission to Mars she told me her story and then took my hand transporting me high over this barren land something was out there she said as we flew the birth of the difference between me and you she opened her mouth and a rainbow ascended we walked even higher and then it all ended I woke in the air lock confused and dejected should I tell the others of all I suspected? The doctor says no,I should wait for a spell it might seal her fate if I break down and tell she's dressed as a nurse ,it's a silly disguise everyone knows by the moon in her eyes that she is the one who is strange as can be I'm laughing out loud as they all look at me.
