Kinds of Blue
written by: Lynn White
From the blue of the sky
to the blue of your eyes
and blue of the sea
where sunlight reflects
blue on blue.
On such a bright blue day as this
darkness cannot encroach
blue is kept outside,
doesn’t move in
to infect us.
But I know that surely later
there will come a kind of
bleary blue-black night
and bring its
bruising
blue tones
blue notes
which will
move inside.
There are all kinds of blue.
