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
