Lapis Lazuli

I wish I could be the colour blue
Not sapphire or cerulean
But something old
And something new
As if waves of the ocean
Are carrying pieces of the sky
Moonlight and stardust
Dipped in indigo dye
A deeper azure
A cobalt that will fade
Part turquoise, part teal
Your shade, your shade…

    Ahhhhh, I love blue and more than that, I love this verse!!!!! The shade blue has never been so well understood or so well represented. Justice done to my favourite shade!! 💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙

      Blue is the new red…It’s the colour of love for the poets…for those who search and yearn to get lost in the unattainable heights of the sky or the unreachable depths of the ocean…It’s the shade of man’s mortal eternity, our little morsels of paradise 💙…And as a cherry (blueberry) on top…it’s your favourite shade ☺️
