Blue

Lake blue, sky blue

azure tropical blue,

indigo, turquoise, cobalt, lapis

granny's old blue soap

Blue, Blue, I Love You.

Blue the child's lunchbox
and blue her pinafore,
blue her favourite crayon,
and blue the old school door.

Blue the sky when all turns to darkness
and just before dawn.

the colour of pain and fear the colour of storms

the colour of wonder,
the colour of chance.
of joyful sadness.
