Blue

A Poem by Lori

Trying out free writing in 5 minutes for Journalism Club in school (:

blue is a color that speaks Volumes
from Serene seas to midnights
the shades of blue, fit for every emotion
It helps me delve into a person's notions
the lightest blue is for every cloud nine moment
where your head is just on the clouds
feet lifted off the ground
liars, they are, who ruin the fantasy
they say it's impossible to live in the clouds
we'll prove them wrong
midnight blue, the darkest hue, tells the story
of a crying girl in the balcony
staring at the stars wishing for a blue moon
opportunity that'll change her life
we have the middle blue, where it's warm and happy
content and peaceful like the calm before the storm
because nothing is ever permanent
one fleeting moment to the other
you've got the blues then a smiling face
what's your shade of blue
i know you've got one too
cause when I think of blue I picture a shining sea
the light of the sun and the blue of the sky
all coming together to form a magnificent picture
but it's too innocent, that isn't reality
so i see a raging storm and a ship
so hopeless at the mercy of the waters
there's an exhausted crew running around and
trying to get the ship under control
the passengers are panicking, thinking what could they do
if it's the last day of their lives
i hate to break it to you kid but that's reality
we are fools of time, wasting it
never stopping to think what to do with such a treasure
it's gold!
but our lives are at the mercy of the unknown
the unpredictability doesn't quite alarm us enough
to stop being an exhausted sailor trying to take control of the ship
just let it flow, let the waters guide you home
so you don't have to be a panicked passenger lost at sea
who doesn't know what to do but worry
stop and clear your head
stare at the bright blue sly and maybe take a deep breath
feel your pulse, there's so much to be thankful for
though there's shades of blue
you'll get through
