Purple Skies



Up on the roof a close view of Heaven,
Where dreams are born and where the lie,
So, don't tell me dreams don't come true,
When I see all of them aligned among the purple skies,

There maybe no scientific proof,
But here they've left hope with their light,
Among purple skies so don't tell me dreams don't come true,
Because Heaven's expansion never stops growing,

Oh, how much these purple skies mean to me,
A light beaming through my window sill,
So, please don't tell me dreams can't come home again,
There maybe no scientific evidence,
But makes all the sense when God's hands in it,

Each handpicked with constant light,
So, don't tell me dreams fade when they've  kept their promise to never fade away,

Now a closer depth view of Heaven,
All captured among the purple skies,
We build on their hopes that our futures,
Are joined with them someday,

Among the purple skies

    You wrote, " the lie." I think it should be, " they lie." for this makes more sense here.
    No a bad poem, but the idea of heaven and dreams coming true are two different things. There may be dreams coming through without taking a heaven into consideration. What heaven has to do with winning, for example, the lotto and thus making your dream of being a rich man a reality. This is having luck and one does not have to put a heaven into the equation.
