What is blue?
The question almost absurd if not necessary
Blue is sadness, but also comfort
Blue is the lightning from a storm dangerous and untamed
Blue is the rain falling from the sky turning to tear on my cold cheeks
Blue is the feeling of being lost in stars, outshined by their blinding light
Blue is the night sky, ever so entrancing
Blue is the watercolor on my crumpled page, delicately staining the paper
Blue is the pigment stuck on my hands, my fingers carrying a piece of my soul in every touch
Blue is the map I study at three a.m when I know I should be fast asleep
Blue is the dream that plays night after night
Blue is the two people turned to statues, cold tendrils creeping up their face pulling them apart
Blue is the eye of my enemy, cold like ice
Blue is the freezing snow that lays along frosted leaves
Blue is the closest color to truth -Steven Tyler
Blue is the bundle of forget-me-nots falling apart in my kitchen sink
Blue is the box of blueberries growing mold in my fridge, the prospect of muffins dying
Blue is the salty sea gently lapping against my feet
Blue is the wave crashing against a shore, the sand glowing in bioluminescence
Blue is the deep water hiding what is best left unsaid
Blue is harsh but kind, rude but sweet
Blue is everything yet nothing
No question too outlandish
Blue is me.

Another one I wrote back in Nov of 2023.
I actually wrote a whole series on this, and I went through most of the colors. I'll be posting those gradually over the next few days. Let me know if I should finish the series and go through the whole rainbow :)
