Once the wind - Shake Keane

Once the wind said to the sea 

"I am sad."

And the sea said "Why?"
And the wind said 

"Because I am not blue
like the sky or like you."

So the sea said 

"What's so sad about that?

Lots of things are blue
or red or other colors too.
But nothing, 

neither sea nor sky, 

can blow so strong 

or sing so long as you."
And the sea looked sad.

So the wind said
"Why?"
