blue is the day

 
blue is the day
it colors my heart in shades of melancholy
its heart beats within me
stirring my pain
 
the ocean understands blue
it is the depths of passion
that ebb and pull within us  
it has a mind of its own
 
the skies reflect this deity
residing in all living beings
blue is the face of us all
 
the great God over forlorn feelings
having nowhere to go
one day floated to the sky
a reminder you are never alone
 
you walk this path with fellow travelers
who know the depths of the blue like you do
as one we carry the varied hues of blue inside us
 
we are reminded to look to the oceans
as it carries our sadness out to sea
to look to the heavens
the skies are painted with our grief
 
then smile within ourselves
that we don't carry this heavy burden alone
