Ubiquitous Blue

Blue's a pigment unlike any other that spills from the heavens and inks the skies. And it engulfs the Earth yet doesn't smother, though it's everywhere, even in one's eyes. It sparkles in lakes and gleams off rivers, inking the waters of oceans and seas. And ice-cold, it can give one the shivers as it solidifies, when waters freeze. It's often refracted in a jewel, both sapphires and diamonds, value this shade. And saturating every pond and pool, it's part of every rainbow ever made. There's something to be said about a hue, as precious, yet ubiquitous, as blue.
