Blue---
Blue is the sea and the sky,
the centre of a storm cloud,
true-blue, navy blue, eggshell blue,
the star-studded blue field of Heaven.
Blue velvet, a midnight horizon,
blue violets, firmly rooted to the Earth,
eager blue eyes, ready for any challenge,
all blue is alike, and all is utterly different.
If I could,
I'd gather up all the blue in the world,
and I'd pour it all into a great glass bottle of blue.
Then, when someone feels sad, I'd give them a little blue
to tell how they felt.
When someone felt so happy that they could fly,
I'd fold up some paper wings for them and give them blue feathers,
and they would hit the skies without a second thought.
Every once in awhile, I'd give everyone a blue moon,
to remind them that anything can happen.
I'd remind them, too, not to take their rainbows for granted.
Most of all, though, I'd like
for just one whole day,
to make EVERYONE turn blue.
Then, they'd all be the same,
but still stay themselves,
and nobody would ever
fight or hate,
and no one would ever
have to be alone again.
Then, when someone says, "I'm feeling blue",
they'd mean that they feel like Heaven.
