BLUES
I've got the blues--
A cloudless sky
Filled with the promise
Of endless possibilities.
A robin’s egg
In a cozy nest
Ready to hatch open.
The wing of a jay
Sitting in a tree
On a crisp winter morn.
An ocean wave
Rolling on its way
To journey to shore.
I’ve got the blues
But I don’t mind at all.
