View of the Blue

Was it in the mood
before it became the colour
here light
bends itself asunder
where space between the clouds can shout
where reeds like bristled growth
upon the untouched face of earth
making castles
for unlit fishes
that drop inside
whose end is always sought
Emptiness that never met its spot
like crystalline cubes of clearest cool
in glass that sunlights chip

This poem is so soothing. My mother's favorite color was blue and my kitchen blue too. So many lovely things in the world are blue aren't they?
