Poem of the Week - from the blue

Selected by Pamela Sayers
This poem can be found at:

from the blue


sometimes I tire of reading, everything in blue

and choose an earthen stone

to ease this crusted mind

a blanket breath

of copper that begs this mortal heart

cast a shield

cast an armor from the blue

from all that is given or known of time

take passage, take a wisdom, take rest

in solitude of still

where a boundless sun

knows capture by a lady, a goddess of his own

with a virtues bail required

allowing life's repose - composed by harp of Lyra

to an ancient siren's song

(blue) awaiting

ransom by a Pharaoh

or a

wistful cloud that

drifts along

~bkmackenie

Lyra is a Northern Hemisphere constellation - the Lyre or Harp
