I am Blue

B orn on a Wednesday, a child of solemn woe
L onesome in wonder, though flirting with the 'why's
U ndine's daughter, thus brazen like a flow
E rudite wanderer, fleeting in the sky
 
G ladly I receive this God-given mystery  
I ncandescent oceans hiding deep discovery 
R  ivulets outflow as ink-penned filigree
L aced in providence, this azure pattern of me

Dear Vanya, I like the way you blend God-given mystery with “incandescent oceans” and “rivuletts outflow as ink-penned filigree” which gives the poem a luminous, almost otherworldly quality. It’s thoughtful, reflective, and full of wonder and a true celebration of self in motion and sky. Beautiful, my friend and I could read this one over and over and still discover something new each time. Blessings, My Dear Vanya, Daniel

Thanks for the kind comment, Daniel. I love blue because it's the colour of the sky and waters, and the symbolisms associated with both colours and elements are abundant. I tried to use as many of them as possible in these short verses and I hope it's not too much. Blessings.
