Blue

You are the color of the sky
When the sun is up high.
Host of clouds,
So beautiful, I could cry.

You are the color of cool, refreshing water,
Nurturing Earth's son and daughter.
Essence of life,
Preventing any chance of becoming hotter.

You are the color of his eyes
As he cries;
Hurt from the pain
And tired of the lies.

You instill something serene,
Enticing me to feel clean
As though I was washed of my troubles
And now made more pristine.

You represent acumen, intellect;
With ideas and answers to collect.
Through the years you were the color of genius,
A most undisputed subject.
