blue

Blue is the colour in which nature darts,
 the kingfisher that dives from the railing into the river 
 the fairy wren that pops pops out onto the garden from the tree and back again in a flash of blue blue blue 

Blue is the colour of nature at rest and peace 
the sea stretching to the blue horizon 

Blue is the colour in which she darts, 
like the kingfisher and fairy wren,
diving into rivers, popping into gardens 

blue is the colour in which she breathes, 
like the steady rise and fall of seas
heartbeat on shorelines

blue is the colour in which she thinks,
expansive skies carrying dreams in clouds
sparks in midnight stars
