Vanished Into the Blue

Grandma's misty blue eyes sparkled A small smile lingered on her tiny soft lips When I seated on her sapphire blue satin bed Her powdery blue boudoir always wove magic Like snow and sky romancing behind netted curtains My decade old eyes were arrested by Her sapphire glittering on her finger It seemed nothing less a robin's blue egg Her dainty fingers in slow motion Clicked her casket open like abracadabra. My excited spirits surged with her treasures Was sure they must have been Stolen from Aladdin's cave She clasped her dozens of stringed solitaires Like lighted stars around my blue veined neck Her matching tiara on my head was pinned She slowly took off her solid turquoise ocean From her finger and kept it in my hands She kissed me whispering it was mine But I would have to grow up first We shared many beautiful days Slowly granny was becoming weaker Dreams turned into nightmares My granny was not responding The whole large family laid her to rest Granny and her world of treasures Vanished into the blue January 13, 2016 Contest: Into The Blue Sponsor: Anthony Slausen
