Blue

How did you get up there?
Up there in the sky so fair?,
Between the tree's bare limbs
Behind where the cloud skims

How did you get down here?
Down here and along the pier?,
Under the waves of ocean's deep
Into the tides roll you creep

How did you find my birthstone?
Born within a light, airy tone?,
I find you buried in aquamarine 
Azure, sapphire, turquoise, cerulean

Beautiful, bold and blue
Not just simply a sad hue,
The calmness you bring, I savor it
How did you end up my favorite?

I love this poem, Kelly :)) Blue has me hypnotised and fascinated. How must it have been when the astronauts saw the first Earth rise? Our whole planet calling out to the universe in blue hues, and we only saw it for the first time: https://pixabay.com/photos/earth-space-stars-hold-grab-4496172/
