Out of the Blue

Falling down into a dense, tangled mood darker than the skies at the midnight hour... Leaving me caught in infinite space by hands on the clock that grasp me and pull to where the time goes... Out of the blue water washes the stagnant clouds drop by clear drop and the persistent wind brushes them white again. All the while, specks of light appear to shine... Hues mixing as pastels swirl with shades much deeper, diluting them down until the blues begin to fade away... Thoughts are suspended for the moment, only to float in midair finally free and out of the blue.

Thank you very much Carol ... I have not published a book yet. It has been on my mind, but I can't afford to do that right now. I hope to publish a book in the near future :)

Came by for another look. This is really quite sublime. I enjoyed drifting along with each stanza, so precisely written. I think it's your best so far, but I better read some more, as I wouldn't want to miss anything.

Hi Kelly. Such a fine poem you have penned. I wonder if tears are the water that wash the stagnant clouds. Thank God that the blues can be washed away. Very nice poem, my friend.... Robert.

Yes, indeed... That is exactly what I was going for with that line. No matter what issues we may be dealing with in life, it always helps to cry and wash them away... Thank you once again for taking the time to read and comment so kindly on my poems, my friend :)
