What shade of blue evokes a song? The throbbing glint of swallow wings, the tinted pall entombment brings when loneliness has sighed too long; the waves that through life's portal sweep, the iridescent sands of sleep; and butterflies that don't belong on trees now chilled, and sparsely lean. What shade of blue resembles pain? The turquoised slash of twilight's sword on monuments that we have poured; the girth of day's ill-fitting gains tight-laced with cords of pulsing fear that hope itself will disappear till shadows without source remain and time devours all that's been. What shade of blue remembers light? The azure notes of freedom's dance when wistful innocence entranced and eyes were hued with love's delight; when wearied shell in respite lies and footsteps on fluorescent skies reflect the soul in final flight where blue exists in shades unseen. |

Lary, this is exquisite. I have long been fascinated by the infinite array of colors, and of emotions. You use both to take me from heights to depths and back again. I particularly liked the hope in the last lines. when wearied shell in respite lies and footsteps on fluorescent skies reflect the soul in final flight where blue exists in shades unseen.

Laryalee...this is painted so beautifully. I am very impressed with this work. Thank you for posting it. Shawna How can you save me? When the dark comes right in and takes me, from my front walk and into bed, where it kisses my face and eats my head. Shivaree |

Love your masterpiece of blue. Blue is one of my favorite colors, actually have two favorite colors blue and red, they seem to compliment each other.. maybe that tells you somethings about my personality? keep on writing, and I'll keep on reading. |
