Purest blue of skies
Listening to the cries
Of many urgent whys
Softly uttered sighs.
Can you be so blue?
In bushes so blue with bees
Troubling for few
Who love to be blue
Her blossoms reach to the sky
Blue never asks why.
Why do I?
Under the surface where blue is true
Barely making it to the shore
Where blue is ever more
She waits for you
In times of blue.
What is it we do?
Blue surrounds you
Beyond the freezing sand
It covers you in serenity
Filters through and through.
Look not away from blue
It has already become you.
This I knew.
Cannot guarantee never to be blue
With all that distance
Farther away from you.
Can't you hear the sound of blue?
I listen closely to the hue of you.
If only you knew.
You can stand on high
So far above me when you choose
But if you take me away from blue
Then we both will loose.
The air is so thin where bluest blue reigns.
Successes and failures, in bluest light reigns.
When only blue remains.
Can we look beyond the blue
Into the deepest part of night?
Can we count the stars along the way
The blinding moons that tick away our days...
I believe we might.
Wouldn't that be a delight.
Steal away in the night
Waking up all right
Dipping into the blue
Immersed in you.
What else can we do?
Good night
And good day
To you.
Embracing the blue.

divorcepauline - Thanks! Lamp from "Lamps Plus," a retail chain!
Joan H - "relaxed, approachable, comfortable..." Yes, I'd say the color blue is meant for you! Thank you.
Scanner - Ahh shucks! You always say the nicest things! Thanks!
bobbot - Should there be an #11? I may do a follow up to this blue post next week. You will have your #11!
Stim - Me too! It is stunning in its contrasting colors and textures. Nature is truly miraculous. Thank you.
Mary - Talk about blue eyes! I got to see yours for a week, but that's not enough time to drink in your beautiful blues! Wonderful sister time with you. xo
ladyfarmerjed - Thanks for such kind words.
keri h - Both taken at Camp Rich, SLT, outside the Beacon Bar and Grill - A fave place for food and drink. Yes, Leslie L and I are on the same wavelength. Could be some cosmic connection between us! Because of your question, I added all the photo locations to post at end. Thank you!
Sky - When me thinks of blue, me thinks of you, too! Cuz, blue is joyful, playful, mood deepening, rueful sometimes and greatly at peace with oneself.
Cranky Cuss - Don't be cranky, don't be blue, know that someone is thinking of you! Thanks!
Trilogy - Oh, my trip to New York last April! A "Sex in the City" chick trip, without the sex! Shopping and eating spree...with a little wine sprinkled in for good measure. Should'a seen the 4 of us with our maps in the subway! A real hoot!
And so true it is of blue...it keeps growing on you...
But then, Puerto Vallarta ain't chopped liver, either.
Thanks for stopping by!
