Blue
Describe a color without ever using the name.
The color of soft rain on a day without the sun. The color of ocean waves when struck with golden light. The color of a girl with the weight of the world on her shoulders. The color of a boy crying in a corner while people pass him by. The color of the sad smile on the face of the girl who knew that the love came too late. The color of the sky above the clouds, where the air is clean and the breeze fresh. The color of a diamond reflecting the rain. The color of her tempestuous eyes and the way they glint like gold on a storm tossed sea when she smiles. The color of boy alone in a field of light and dark and the way his shoulders slump with tiredness. The color of the sound wind chimes make in light rain. The color of the cold and the way it wraps you in shades of itself. The color of a pale flower burdened and saddened by dew. The color of a small flower that appears first after the cold, its small petals radiant while it magnifies the invisible colors of the wet snow around it. The color of her his eyes when he remembers her smile. The color of a morning shrouded in fog and mystery. The color of the bruise she left on his heart. The color of her burdened heart when she left him for his own good. The color of love after it cools down and no one can figure out how to bring the passion back. The color of dark secrets whispered in the dead of night. The color of rainbow as it fades and leaves everyone with a sad afterglow. The color of her thoughts when she is tentatively hanging on to a happiness that she doesn’t know will last.
The color blue.
