Attuned to blue

I stay attuned to misty blue,
smoky, midnight, and azure,
when red and yellow mixed
bring up at crisis points
a most indifferent orange.

The sun wears orange well
and it suits a burning bush
but, help me please, I’m no one
when diluted till insipid.

Black once pure and strong
almost navy, somewhat grey,
a mere diversion from the truth
deemed acceptable.

Lush and fulsome green
and olive trees bear limes
in the garden of uncertainty
and even white no happy sight
when muddied with intent.

Beige always takes the cream
and the cherry on the top
left without a home
in the mix and match
of opposites.

Husband/wife and there is strife
when gold manifests as brass
and silver imports black spots
on outward appearances.

My blues aren’t all the same;
that’s true because I’ve told you so
but the spectrum of my soul,
and I’ll grant that yours also,
turns and stays “true-blue”
when love comes into view!
