A Blue Wonder

Featured Image Above: I received the photo from my niece, Jasmine, who lives interstate in Sydney. The photo is of an old painting of my wife’s (Carole) that I have not seen for 25 years … and a hearty thank you to dear Jazzy for locating and reframing Carole’s wonderful painting.


A Blue Wonder


“Blue hills or blue waves” 

I originally asked her 

“Whatever your eyes hear”  

She eloquently replied 


 

Yesterday, I received a keepsake photo 

Of an old painting of Hers, called “Blue” 

Today, the ocean’s deep blue 

Is where my veiled emotions lie 

Tomorrow, the alp’s serene blue 

Will covertly visit my soul
