(I swear, there's something about that colour... it helps that the word can mean so many things, I guess.)

Blue Light

The blue light of dawn,
reflection of the sky from a sun yet unseen
Blue-lit public toilet,
futile foilment of an injected dream
UV in the club,
bleaching eyes and teeth and hair
and invisible dust
Blue siren,
wailing with its bloody brother
to right a wrong or douse a flame
Blue shade,
under tarpaulin at a summer barbeque
relief and safety from the ultra-blue without
The purest blue,
glowing from the ancient heart of a glacier
The vast blue,
of the world waters teeming with life great and small
plied by small dirty things, killing and smearing the blue with red and grey
The blue of your soul,
for I see it shining through the windows of your eyes
torn by youth and pain
tempered now by years and joy and wisdom
all the brighter
all the richer
all the bluer
lighter, never pale.

(Don't ask me, cos I don't know...)
 
I was going to put this into your thread Sweetest_Thing, but I don't know why no one ever replied to this and I felt bad because it is absolutely gorgeous. Don't worry I will have more!
 
OMG that is so beautiful I'm kinda speechless here....the flow and the imagery and the choice of words is just all wonderful!!! Did anything specific inspire this?
