Blue

I remember shades of blue
sky upon water
surreal cerulean
that would not fade for season
or reason

in a land where dreams were born
and died
a place of quiet spirituality
and great unrest
in a tangle of contradiction
a fiction

of a reality unrealized
but for the blue

Separate the man from the setting
concrete and steel
languishing landscape
that does not change for reason
or season

in a land where dreams are reborn
and try
to reclaim what drifted down
a dry well
where hope springs
from broken wings

looking ever skyward
for the blue
