I am so Black that I am Blue

Vers Libre

By Diana HarrisPublished 5 years ago 1 min read

I am so black that I am blue

My soul flows like the currents

Deep and mysterious as the ink-black sea

Look into my eyes and

Discover the silver starlight of a midnight sky

Or perhaps a greater love reflected back to you

My laugh has been known to conjure rainbows

Or awaken your inner child from slumber

My smile, soft like the crescent moon

Can turn your night into day

Or cradle you until you feel safe

My tears fall like crystal prayers upon the Earth

To wash this wounded world clean

My anger drums like thunder rolling over the hills

A clarion call to awaken us from this long night

My pain is a history lesson for each of us

Sometimes it burns red with the fires of Truth

From its ashes, a phoenix rises

My words swirl across the paper like

cobalt and amethyst nebulas in the night

Frightening some with their purity and insight

Yet, reigniting others to their purpose and joy

I am the jet black promise of a new moon

And as ebony as the womb of Mother Earth

I birth new life from old wisdom

Indigo, azure, and sapphire are in my seas

Swim in my depths. I am Magic, Intuition, and Blue like Heaven

I am so black that I am blue
