Shades of Blue

Shades of blue are flying in the air and people are gathering from far and near the symbols of the world are hurrying down the street spreading whispers of hope on threadbare knees Shades of blue are floating in the sea riding with the mad waves that is coming after me angry eyes stares heartlessly at me while the chains and ropes of the ages wraps itself round me and the night seduces me I have heard the song that you want to sing but the song has no structure or rhythm you have composed a song that has no taste It is a song that you will never sing but I feel the melody roaring in the sea and someone is calling out to me. The smell of rotten herring is blowing with the wind and the birds are flying to and fro looking for a place to go They cannot find a place to land For the seagulls have crowded the Sand and the pelicans are feasting on the boneless herring and I watched courage swim. What shade of blue are you wearing? do you have something prolific to share? listen to the wind howling over there keep you your ambition high up the air What shade of blue are you wearing it is producing something annoying blue for peace, blue for love blue is in the message that resonate from above there are fifty different shades of blue which one are you?
