Blue

blue 
embraced as the color of heaven ,
serene and surreal like the ocean,
all hues in-between
cool,  calming
blue.

blue,
the blood of aristocrats,
the moods of dreamers,
revered in song 
“Rapsody in Blue”
ultimate loyalty, true
blue.

blue,
hovering between violet and green
infinite shades 
worldly renowned
wildly over-used
but what would the world be without
blue.
