Dive into Blue
all Blue I love,
ever there
at the end
my friend
in time of
hurt love's need
or merely to feel your wings;
Infinite independence
lures happy departure
flight quickens let fall
back into whirling
worldly every-thing.
Blue blessed be
carry me above
where quiet can laugh down
on the face of utmost misery.
Return to leave nothing
how truly am
in surrender.
If you've not seen Blue
then go there, either alone
if not best; delaying to frame
your beautiful love.
Or then: share it with your Beauty.
She looks so good against the Blue!
Author notes
Blue is the colour of infinity.
I hope my take on 'Blue' will be acceptable, I will understand if it's not what was being looked for.

I wrote a poem called 'My Blue Guitar' and one called 'My Blue Spaceship':
http://allpoetry.com/poem/1293839
My unfinished poetry book is called 'The Blue Flame'.
Sometimes things go all red and black and I yearn for blue. I know that blue underlays everything though so it's alright.
You speak blue beautifully!
Peace Georgia

I really like the sound of this;
"back into whirling
worldly every-thing"
Very nice. Your voice is interesting and fresh, I look forward to reading more of your work.

I'm listening to Celine Dion and reading your poem. I'm not sure if it's the combination of or one or the other but I'm just a sensetive sort and I cried.
Blue blessed be
carry me above
where quiet can laugh down
on the face of utmost misery.
Gives me a new appreciation for blue. It's like my best friend, my mp3 player and a box of chocolates on friday.

This made so much more sense the second time i read it and i knew what blue was! LOL Its very beautiful and meaningful. I loved this part:
Blue blessed be
carry me above
where quiet can laugh down
on the face of utmost misery.

Blue is the color of skies
the color of oceans, of water
and when
all seems somehow too much,
I turn to blue, not for answers
but to remind myself
outside of my single perspective
some things go on forever
and are all the more beautiful for it

A wonderful take on the prompt. I love your last two lines.

Blue blessed be
carry me above
where quiet can laugh down
on the face of utmost misery.
Great write on the prompt...i like how you strengthen
those times of blue into beauty and meaning transforming
us not negatively...but the view and landscape of
how we can use our blue times to renew!
great job on this write! many stanza's to enjoy!

I do love what 'Blue' means for me, it's saved me well on occasions and as we both know, written many songs.
