Blue

Cool, they describe you Yet your energy is vigorous, enduring Short, compact waves of intense photon packages Dancing on the retina in steady, fluid rhythm A clear language of light, translated to the synapses As a pleasing, enigmatic dialect of compelling emotion Tiny molecules of air scatter, wide, Sol's shorter undulations To paint the heavens as a baby's eyes ... More wavers of luminosity, pressed close by physics Kiss the waters of the earth, and are breathed back to the sky Turning rills, rapids, repositories, to shades that shame the azures Humanity's wiles and works, are all framed in the complexion of the moon And should a distant race of beings ever marvel at our planet It will be for its exquisite swirls of majestic blue A dazzling, resplendent marble Pride of creation. ~ 2nd Place ~ in the "Blue" Poetry Contest, Craig Cornish, Judge & Sponsor. ~ Honorable Mention ~ in the "Strand Select W Any Form Any Theme" Poetry Contest, Brian Strand, Judge & Sponsor.
