A Shade of Blue

It was the most
beautiful shade of blue.
The kind you could
fall into and get lost in.
The kind you could
call your favorite color. 
Deep blue.
With a tint of silver. 
Light blue.
With a shade of green.
Blended to create
the most beautiful shade of blue. 

When I looked into her eyes
I thought back to that beautiful
shade of blue.
It was that very shade. 
That very shade of blue.
Simple. But exquisite.

When I looked into the sea,
I saw that beautiful shade
that beautiful shade of blue. 
Light. But deep.

When I looked at the writing
on the whiteboard in my classroom.
I remembered that shade of blue.
The beautiful shade of blue.
Different. But the same.

Looking out to the green mountains
in the morning during sunrise.
I remembered that beautiful shade of
blue.

Everywhere I look
I see that shade.
My favorite shade.
The most beautiful shade
of blue.

  • Crustacean

    A word I learn to spell

    Confusing due to the ‘cean’ 

    Rather than a ‘tion’ 

    Meaning: a lobster or a kind of shellfish

    ‘Crusty’ probably, due to the shell

    ‘Cean’ I think now

  • Candle

    The candle in my room.

    Sometimes pumpkin, sometimes mandarin orange depending on the season or the feeling I am feeling.

    A collection I have started.

  • The Silver Lining

    I sit here.
    My planner open, pencil in hand, casually scribbling over all the events.
    That didn't happen.
    That won't happen.
    The fact that I have to sit, through ten more weeks, of going nowhere.
