A Silent Kind of Blue

there is no hush...when silent dreams can scream and echo through a thousand yesterdays just like the thoughts that float upon a stream are lost in lackadaisical malaise no peace within this torrid kind of blue - horizons that portend more of the same then taunt with hints of calm where wishes flew to where they hide - and no one has a name a sultry sax weeps like the sallow trees as tickled keys stall on a lazy chord - a cloud sails through blown by a trumpet's breeze and patience snares its improvised reward all tangled in a thought that never ends - that solo break where sanity pretends

Absolutely cool concept. Relish your verse, Craig. Haunted by happenings, continuing to function smoothly, - Silent Blue. Love your submission.

Thank you Segrid, but of course you know this is just thoughts about the contest I posted. Usually, when I post a prompt/inspiration, I don't even have any clue what I might write to it but think that if I am to expect others to write to it, I should expect the same from myself- but- unlike most politicians, I'm not narcissistic enough to enter it in my own contest, but it was fun anyway! Hope you come up with something yourself...
