BLUE BALLAD

honoring George Lorca’s ballad I Want You Green

Friend, I tell you

one night in dreamland

I heard a voice say clearly,

 We will resolve all things

in shades of blue.

Another time I saw

a plane part a sapphire midnight

to slip out of view

and knew I would do that too

when I am no more this she

and new horizons beckon me

to pass through portals

not really clouds and sky

no time to wonder where or why.

Though my heart has splintered

many times, piled in a heap

then it shall be shiny whole

for my true self

is home in ethers blue.

Blue, how I do love you, blue.

Blue sky. Blue flowers.

Blue marble floating in space

and as lake upon the land.

I carry you within my heart

In memory and now,

blue eyes, blue dress,

patches of prairie sky,

periwinkle,  azure,

each brings joy to me.

 

Blue, how I do love you blue

Your sweet vibration.

has sustained me

in lovely harmony

during this long lonely visit

to earth

You are my companion,

a kaleidoscope of jewels,

brilliant in time.

 

Blue, how I do love you, blue.

Blue sky. Blue flowers.

Blue marble floating in space

and as lake upon the land.

Blue, I love you, blue.

Blue sky. Blue flowers.

Blue marble in space

and as lake upon the land.

I carry you in my heart

In memory and now,

blue eyes, blue dress,

patches of prairie sky.

Blue, I love you blue

On sea or land every

periwinkle,  azure,

each offer joy to me.

Blue, I love you blue,

blue sky, blue flowers.

I find comfort

and harmony

in your sweet vibration.

during this long lonely visit

my visit to the earth

made lovely by you and them.

You are my companion,

jewels brilliant in time.

Blue, I love you, blue.

Blue sky. Blue flowers.

Blue marble float in space

and as lake upon the land.
