Out of the Blue

once upon a page in time-
the golden age of the five and dime
I looked upon a sky of blue

and suddenly I came to feel
a sense of magic vivid,real
and wondered to myself could it be true?

yet colors fade as pages turn
that none but educated eyes discern
the written words had made it clear

it was I fear...
an imaginary hue.
