The Deepest Blue

Blue- a small word that helps define a color; 
the sky, the sea, children's eyes, some flowers.
For me, the color blue pulls me far, far away
into the nebulous world of mysterious space.

I look up; cerulean by day, indigo by night.
What I can't see is that eternal, deepest blue,
splashed with jewels- stars, planets, moons.
We have ventured- 'one small step for man'.

Space voyagers now beam images never seen
as we move deeper into dimensions of space.
Where will this blue otherworldliness lead us?
What will this mystic and majestic maze unfold?

This endless space embraces the vast Universe;
it supports our tiny world- for now, our home.
Unfathomable- blue depth with no boundaries;
unknown futures- what I would give to know.

I hear there are plans for future transport of people to revel in the moon's delightful perspective on the stars above. Maybe this will happen in our lifetimes, Sandra. Congratulations on your win in Brian's contest! Best wishes, Carolyn
