is the sky blue

clouds veil the blue sky
we are told it exists
but unless we see
doubt persists

all thoughts cease
silence then speaks to us 
what’s real: silence or thought
bemused again as doubts nonplus

Dear US, a great philosophical insight into a world where we should be skeptical, question, and test what is perceived. I loved this line: "what’s real: silence or thought". Hmmm, yes, what truly is real? - Blessings, My Dear Friend, Daniel
