Evening in Shades of Blue: A Poem

Hi there! This poem is inspired by the wonderful sky I saw yesterday evening, and I hope you enjoy it.

Have you seen

 

1000 shades of aquamarine, pinpoint a single hue too

beautiful

for words, too subtle

for sense made by anything other than

 

direct appreciation of this cyan wonder.

 

Look:

above, behind; see

Indigo encapsulated, deep

dark; rich with melancholy and the first

 

imprint of the stars, disruption

of the ink stained celestial pool, made

ever more in contrast than alone.

 

Ahead – green-tinged turquoise,

lapis gems adorning

the horizon with their softest glow, this

lazuli

ornament that cascades with the

 

softest glow.

 

Around;

life. unadulterated, in

a constant state of flux, whilst,

immobile for a moment, and ignored,

the blue perpetuates

perfectly.
