This morning the sun spattered the world with blue <br />Skies and from their resting places the winds blew <br /> <br />In reply. Now around us we see blue jays, <br />Blue grass, blue bells, blue ribbons, all sea blue. <br /> <br />The birds scatter from here and everywhere <br />And we’re in awe of what comes out of the blue. <br /> <br />What do we detect above the mountain tops? <br />Could there be aliens beyond outer blue? <br /> <br />Happy those who tan themselves on sea shore sand <br />Having salt-water waves washing them with blue. <br /> <br />Sometimes I wonder about this color too. <br />How can some ever be saying “I feel blue.”? <br /> <br />I want to take the sky, wrap it around you <br />and me. We could be enrobed in peaceful blue. <br /> <br /> - October 3,2009 <br /> <br />Published online Dec.21,2009 by The Ghazal Page in the Color Radif Challenge Issue.
