BLUE
Blue - easy on the eyes -
blue skies and blue eyes -
memories of the blue beach waters
of the Mediterranean and the Caribbean -
then there were those letters
written with bright blue ink
on white or yellow paper -
letters from my parents -
but mostly from my mom -
when at school - way, way back -
away from home - on my own -
blue - the color that calms
the heart beat in my chest
when I’m worried and restless -
when I’m agitated
like the wild red
fires -
destroying the coastal forests -
but I still don’t know why
when I’m feeling down
they call that feeling blue.
