Poem ‘Blue’ by Dan Allen

In times remembered
When feeling down
Your essence comes upon me
Laying my troubles down

Against a bloom
Between green leaves
Your shades of feelings
Creep down deep inside me

Blue, in an afternoon sky
Lingering in the meadow
Or at the bow of a knoll
I see you resting, fondling the pasture

Blue, without a sound
Hurling shades and hues
Penetrating a hush
Enmeshing quietly

In reflections on calm water
Or upon soothed souls
Within placid eyes
Blue, your beauty I behold

Together today and tomorrow
Blue, I will drink you. I will breathe you in
I will watch you riding the sunrise
And I will join you at the gathering of clouds
