WALK #44

I believe this sky’s shade of blue is (akin to) Egyptian Blue. If so, it’s considered to be the first synthetic pigment also known to the Romans as caeruleum. But after the end of the Roman empire, how it was crafted became lost until modern times when scientists came to recreate it. I’m glad we can still see this blue—it’s said the Egyptian god Amun chose this color for his skin so that he could fly invisibly across the sky. (I know these details because I wrote about them in my current novel-in-progress before this walk with its sightings. Reality often comes to mirror my writings aka “I write my reality.”)

When Beauty Turns Illusions Into Reality

The sky's color

is illusion

based

on the random

shifts of

light.

But when illusion

is lovely

someone

will want to

make it 

real

like the Egyptian

King of

Gods,

Amun, who turned

his skin

blue

to fly invisibly

against sunlit

sky.
