blue.

blue is like finding a diamond underneath the depths of the ocean
like discovering a new sky
understanding how it sounds when you swim
electrifying fire on a campstove

blue is like lying on the floor of a pool
living in a silent world
unmoored from reality, staring up at the
endless world above you

blue is a detatched feeling
lining up your priorities in a soft light
unaffiliated with the world around you
energizing you not by shouting but by whispering nothings in your ear

blue is being alone, but not
lonely, not
underappreciated—
enacting just what you need, and having it.
