Shades of Blue, Improvision No 15 By Ron Porter

all these shades of blue
that i've passed through.
echoes from way back
reflect on days brand new.

oh! i have been
sky-blue falling
sea-blue diving
and Indigo
came so hard, you know
it made it seem
I was lost in dream

turquoise mountains
majesty above 
the cobalt ground.
none ever lingered 
too long and most
never held me down.
for with all the living
the taken and given
this big blue marble
just keeps spinnin' 'round

man! i sure could use 
a guitar solo, right about here...
