THE BLUE

“It’s a good day”,

You come to me and say.

You shine like the sun

Laughing all the way

Vacillating,

Whether to jump or fly?

Fear adulates both

But so do you.

So what if you fall

Into the ocean of misery?

I’m standing

Right where you began

To help you swim through

To the shallow end.

Again you stand, you rise,

For you were destined

To seek the ether of wise.

Standing right there

I look up at you

For success is surmised

From the beginning to The Blue.

The piece is written from the perspective of a teacher, a mentor, a guide who always stays by your side to catch you if you fall.
