Vestige in Blue

Before the light could find my frame,
A breath of blue became the air.
I waited—not for hope or name—
But for a silence I could bear.

The self withdrew, then disappeared,
No shelter left for soul to keep.
All colors fell, as time grew smeared;
Just blue remained—too vast, too deep.

What burned was not a mortal flame,
But thought encased in frost and skin.
The world collapsed without a claim,
And left a hush that rings within.
