Blue is alive

 

There’s something about blue

Something that highlights the hue

Blue, it’s always true isn’t it

They call it sky blue

I think it’s the slide of

The ocean

Blue, it’s always a baby

Blue, it’s always deep

So deep, that your hand

Can’t touch the bottom

Because there is no bottom

There’s only the

Swishhh, Swiiiirl, swooorl,

That goes and goes and goes and goes

With a graceful gait in every stride

Blue, it’s always the lazy, easy, stretch of tongue

It’s the carefree brush of a paintbrush

Sliding the crosshatched surface

Of a canvas

It’s the slow droop of an eyelid

As the drowsiness settles in

It’s the slow curve of my hand

As it turns on a page
