I Am Indigo

Each night in the heavens I am reprised.
On darkest evenings, I am not disguised.
The beauty of my color is greatly prized.
I am a blend of blue-violet ~ Indigo skies.

In the deepest shade of my lovely hue,
I am a calming balm when you feel blue.
Moonlight's glow will enhance your view
of me before sunlight dries morning dew.

I will reappear as twilight yields to night~
the background for stars, flickering bright.

Duke Beaufort Date: 8/20/2025 10:28:00 AM Lin, you know how to look! It's probably always there...just hidden. This is the opposite of a hate tattoo on you know who. That's always there too, but it's not welcome. Smiles and thanks for all you do!! Login to Reply Lin Lane Date: 8/21/2025 2:51:00 AM The beauty and the good is always there if we look deeply enough. Thanks for being you, Duke.

Tania Kitchin Date: 8/16/2025 5:14:00 AM Lin, indigo suits you and you are "the calming balm" when I feel blue. A great poem. -hugs Login to Reply Lin Lane Date: 8/16/2025 8:04:00 AM Tania, your kind thoughts made me smile. Thanks, sweet friend ;-)

Terry Flood Date: 8/14/2025 3:07:00 PM O, you just get in there and do ‘indigo’. There was me thinking blue, red, green etc… I guess now I’m gonna have to imagine myself as aquamarine, vermillion or…. buttermilk. Has to be said, you’ve done indigo proud. A likely contender in the contest. Now… what rhymes with ‘beige’? Login to Reply Lin Lane Date: 8/14/2025 3:21:00 PM Don’t bother with beige. It’s much too mundane for a poet with your imagination. Choose a color that has more depth, like sanguine. One of my bloody favorites. Many thanks for the kindness of your remarks, Terry!

CayCay Jennings Date: 8/14/2025 9:05:00 AM You did it and you did it well, you imagined yourself a color and turned it into a more than beautiful poem. I've got nothing, how is a Libra suppose to pick a color when 'she's' never even picked a favorite color? So, I've been lifelong stuck on that issue, though I did love the midnight blue crayon as a child. You did yourself proud with this write. Poetry hugs ...
