Blue

Blue but not just blue.
Deep, swift in the middle,
leading to unknown depths.
Lighter, faster, swifter
skittering over rocks, dipping into shallows,
making its way to the deep,
still,
Blue.

I dip my toes, trail my fingers,
seek the deep.
encompassed, enveloped,
enclosed.
a cocoon,
still,
Blue.

Smooth as silk the waters skin to mine,
no barrier, no wall
truth, power, forgiveness,
still,
Blue.

Blue in the sky, deep midnight,
stars watching through trees.
Blue in the cloak left draped on the earths surface.
Blue in the pool, deep and ever changing.
Blue in her eyes, 
cutting to the middle,
still,
Blue.
