I Am Blue

I paint the sky on a bright and sunny day.

I glisten in the eyes of a new baby who has opened them for the first time.

I decorate gardens with hydrangeas, geraniums, hyacinths, bluestars, asters, and morning glorys.

I cover the webbed feet of the booby birds.

I flash through the crystal clear ocean waters making beaches picturesque.

I rage through a flame when it is hotter than hot.

I am sad and I cry, unable to be happy.

I am blue.
