The blue sky protects
It protects us all from the inky black beyond
The black that threatens to swallow us all
The black that goes on forever
The black is scary
But the blue is not
A child’s baby blue balloon tugs at the child
Wanting to take the child to a world of wonder
Of possibilities
But the child lets go
They don’t want to leave the safe comfort of home
You can see the blue in someone sometimes
Sometimes it’s in their face, body, or heart
Everybody feels blue at times
Although not everybody knows when they do
All you can do, is help share the blue with them, so you understand
Sometimes feeling blue isn’t a sad or bad thing
For some people, the blue is where they go to think
It holds them close
And tells them it’s going to be alright
Even if it takes time
Which it always will
When you touch blue, you can feel many things
You may feel cold or uncomfortable
I always feel anchored and content
It feels silky, and soft
It flows between my fingers, pouring out of my hand
Blue is very consuming
Very controlling
It can feel like you’re sinking
And never getting out
But it can be peaceful and caring too
Wanting to heal
Not hurt
It can be helpful and relieving
It can be emotional or blank
Either way blue will always be there for you
Waiting
Welcoming
