Lapis Legacy
In teal sunset
Gerberas whisper cyan secrets
jade eyes already misty
with turquoise tears
translucent as bee wings
In daisy diaspora they have germinated
a lapis legacy throughout my garden
to peacocks and oceans
enthralling with indigo images
of azure empires
converting with periwinkle prayers
Sapphires burn
in shades of midnight
as amulets to aqua aspirations
As sky darkens and cobalt descends
blue buds dream in cerulean
of cornflower conquests
just as Persians and Egyptians
once sought dominion
from Aegean to Atlantic
Now they will slip
into celestial sleep
scaling steel spruce
until awakening
to a powder morning
