Blue and Purple Hues

Words were always this. Color-drunk waves
Raining, Rolling
Through air breath and sky
Capture a glance of passerby
In wild winged
wonderful flight.

They stole warmth above the tundra,

Tore triumph from ungiving hills,
Danced through darkness in the cavern,
In heavy wood whispered faithfully still.





But wait, soft. heavy worth
trustful eye'd watching for sound
of bell-strung verse
once more, to ring.
echo reaching
beyond the tyrant sea
to receive heart
(a harbor)
peaceful.
singing quietly.
like deep sea diving.
words rang, there they came
to rest and wander
find meaning.

These - a dream were these?
Waves to sandy beach, greeting me--
laughing raspberry and olive green?
Blue and purple hues
this is the song I never wrote
