Blue Hole

Blue Hole

Caught between a high and a low
Wild winds created 
Sneer at my sunlit scenes 
In surrender -
Begging to share luminosity nascent -
Slamming clouds together
In tight hollows
Where my interrupted dreams cower -
Unfinished ravished rainbows,
Stuck on jagged mocking torrents,
Find no escape to share
Their arching colors
In hallowed hues
No path to slide upon empyreans of illumination
Or slip through invisible’s elusive seam
Come then gone
In jeering contempt

Blue to azure sapphire atmosphere approaches,
Turquoise tamed in twilight,
Slow rending open a hidden wrinkle
Forming a wide womb
No black hole of taunting lamentations
Like a devouring apocalyptic apparition
Of scorching laughter
Only an ever widening 
Hole on wings of blue with serene edges
Sweeping away unholy hollows
Beckoning wide eyes
Look up!  Embrace sight
That rises up on eagle’s wings
Shaking off the sneering winds
And mocking torrent’s tantrums
Reside in aromatic views of valley’s paradise
Stretch into enigma’s rubric mystery
Come from nowhere to somewhere morning glory essence
Through my hallowed blue hole in the sky.

Beryl Edmonds June 6, 2021 at 11:49 AM An excellent write on that big blue hole in the sky Sam. Congratulations on your win… Belle Sam Kauffman June 7, 2021 at 11:42 AM Thank you so much Belle. This theme brought many moments of looking at the sky especially as the sun breaks through our morning fog - so grateful to be able to experience the joy of seeing the sun and sky appear through mist and clouds! Sending you blessings of "serene" blue holes and clear skies!

Christuraj Alex June 5, 2021 at 7:38 AM Beautiful Imagination. Congratulations! Sam Kauffman June 7, 2021 at 11:39 AM Hi Chris! Thank you for your congratulations and affirming words. This theme did lead my imagination on quite a journey into the blue, hopeful ether! Blessings my friend.

JC Brul May 29, 2021 at 2:47 PM Very imaginative! Rich imagery flowing gently from line one up to the last- I like your idea of a blue hole nowhere else but in the sky. Best wishes. A sure win! Sam Kauffman June 7, 2021 at 11:35 AM Many thanks and much gratitude JCB. So happy you enjoyed shared my blue hole in the sky - a portal and an open door. I think of Debussy's Sunken Cathedral that raise us up into the eternal ethereal! Hope you are well. Blessings of ethereal blue hopes to you!

Jennifer Proxenos May 25, 2021 at 11:35 PM Your poem travels up and above the clouds into the azure blue sky where our thoughts about heaven and dreams will one day hopefully come true. I am not assumptious I will reach there and have been no angel, but not too bad I guess! Bless you Sam always, Jennifer. Sam Kauffman June 7, 2021 at 11:30 AM Hi Jennifer! Thank you dear friend! Looking at the depthless blue sky does remind me of the depthless love drawing us up with a perpetual invitation to look up! Like you I don't assume but hope to keep seeking the truth depth of that heavenly blue hole. Have a feeling we will be writing and singing without the restrictions of time! Many blessings of clear skies to you! Sending a hug!

Your words really gave my heart a lift! In the morning we often get think clouds of fog. When the fog starts to lift it often starts with a blue hole and I find myself looking up and being raised up in anticipation and hope! All the best dear friend! Blessings of a cloudless day to you!
