That Blue

I can still remember
Rolling hills and pristine lakes
Everything untouched by time
Living on in its wake
But most of all I look into
That blue
That awesome blue

A time nothing can sunder
Even years and rumbling tanks
Indelible in memory
Each moment I give thanks
To thoughts that lead me back into
That blue
That awesome blue

Contrivances in picture books
But so alive to me
The sky, the ocean melding to
Imagination’s sea
Swirling in my head around
That blue
That awesome blue

Indelible, impenetrable
That blue
That awesome blue
