blue

blue

like the sky on a summer day

sun drenched

no stress

nothing but cloudless and

blue

like the sea

vast, neverending

so open that I fear

one step more

and I too 

will be swallowed underneath

blue

like a symphony of raindrops

falling, washing everything 

and reminding me 

that I am never too dirty

to be cleaned by

blue 

like the notes of my favorite song

the chords swirling around me and when I close my eyes

I feel like I am swimming in 

blue

like the chlorine scent of a concrete oasis

I dive into

blue 

like the shoes my brother took his first steps in

those tiny feet clad in 

blue

like the color of my best friend's eyes when she laughs

oh- if you could see this too

you would know why

I only need

blue
