Star of the Sea

Star of the Sea, dolorous and Byzantine, throw your royal blue cloak over me, She who weeps, La Llorona in Kahlo’s Casa Azul, paint my heart gold under a prehistoric cobalt blue vault of heaven, The blue! The blue! I am spellbound by the blue! Lapis and lavender blues of a shining Limoges Mary And lotuses on faded old Amarna tiles whisper me tales binding me to the secrecy of an ethereal blue rose, Azure tropical waves caress a shore strewn with white coral, Lady Isis, come into a sea-turtle guided dream; Sky blue rays and fiery blue flames, walk with me and scribe my Destiny on your crystalline turquoise tablets in etheric Gothic, Turn me into pure sapphire light, I am swooning into the soothing blue of every iris and cornflower, The strange bird that had been singing all along in my heart -- it is blue
