A Shade of Blue

Dum spiro spero

By Trevor CoryPublished 5 years ago 1 min read

There is a shade of blue so fine

it lurches my sight

from gradient free fall

sending it forward

among clouds so still

they could be continents on a map

disappeared tomorrow.

As the earth is to a God

and as I am not.

In spite all the trying of time

that dusty spirituality still stirs up

a shade of blue so thin and fine.

A door that opens each eternity

in every moment passing,

creation breathing -

dum spiro spero.

As I am to a God and as God is not

perhaps eternity marvels

at a thing so good and small

as breathing in and out.

Perhaps it watches through

a shade of blue

so thin and fine and good

to pause before the exhalation

at rapture made of beauty held

by wasting flesh so good and frail.

Forever would be long to live

without the breath of hope.
