Blue as Devotion
ОглавлениеSome love this world like a secret,
a promise, a sacred tease:
500 shades of blue—sea glass or sky,
sapphire, jade, night. Cool hues
play the rogue, retreat from our squint
while come-hithering, luminous
as the quiet splice of shadows and twilight,
fickle as evening tide’s invocation
and benediction.
How many ways can one soul taste
what perfumes the mind,
be it nutmeg, narcissus, rain?
Scent, you are memory’s journey mate.
Time frays, like next week’s vapor trail,
the past unspools, and earth lovers
pause, gazing upward.
