blue veins

deep blue feels like home

something i trust, something i know

ever since i was a child i could see it,

feel it in the comfort of rich indigo

that calms my senses, eases my nerves

i swaddle my mind with blue memories

and let my dreams take flight

my blue veins run vibrant

as the cool blood flows

i am one with the sky

and at peace with the ocean tide

blue is peaceful and present

understanding and open to change

and sometimes if you close your eyes

blue is a wise flame

i am Blue, daughter of the moonlit night

you can see it in my veins

you can see it in my eyes
