pieces of me

I was born 

Into blue

A child

Of water

And light...

I swam 

Amongst the 

Cool comfort

Of cerulean

The rich cobalts

Wrapped me in

Silky ribbons

Warm pool blues

Reflecting my mothers

Egg shell eye shadow

Encompassed me

In love and faith

Turquoise waters

Invited me to explore 

All my colorful fish friends

I became

Fancy Finns

The mermaid

Bright blue

From the sky above

Guided my tiny feet

Down paths

Of silky grasses green

Filled with brilliant yellow daffodils

And linen white

Lily of the valley

They were nourished by

Fresh rain blue teardrops from heaven

They grew around 

This whimsical child

Like wild fairies at a summers dance

Blue -

berries

Gushed sweetness into my mouth

As I would belly giggle

With my “besty” by my side

Pale blue waters 

Welcomed me every morning

As I swam water ballet 

With all my friends at the local pool

Navy blue memories

Keep safe

Every hue I carry within

Knowing 

I am a child of the water

I was saved by the

Atlantic ocean 

And now live out my

Beautiful life

With every shade of tropical blue

Filling up my soul...
