A Million Hues of Blue

Sun rays dancing off a painting in blue etched on glass,
washed my world away in a million happy hues of blue

Singing and dancing
blue jays and peacocks,
Cerulean oceans and icy blue lakes,
From near and far
Egyptian blues and Prussian hues
from Cambridge and Carolina too,
Gems dipped in azure skies
sapphires and turquoise
treasures and trinkets,
Garlands of periwinkle
iris and cornflower,
An indigo bridging the heavens and the earth.

A color of the mood?
Oh no! I don't think so
For when I think of blue
its happy, bright and true

Sun rays dancing off a painting in blue etched on glass,
washed my world away in a million happy hues of blue

  6. Thanks Sunita..
    Yes..I think blue has been treated rather unfairly ever since they call them the "the blues"
    Hope u feel better soon!

  7. Heh.. My blues have turned into shades of grey with a prospect of silver lining :p Well, my color theme isn't working out well..It has started raining around here and I'm stuck with the gloomy weather. I'm doing better, thanks for asking!
