Blue Poem by M.J. Lemon
Blue
They say blue
stands for birth
and stability and confidence
but the woman with a brother
with PTSD explained she
could not even
read the words
SHAKE WELL...
on the condiment jar
without feeling
the hands of despair
snapping their fingers
to the tune
of her mortality
For the spiritual seekers, blue colour symbolises higher state of consciousness. Meditation on blue brings about a vision of clarity, understanding and firmness in thought and speech. Dear Poet, a full score of 10 for your bright vision.
Dear MJ, You are absolutely on dot, It is the colour of stability and confidence. I do not know why the colour ' blue' is associated with a state of sadness or hopelessness in the west. But in India the colour blue is associated with higher elevation of mind.
Thank you so much, Geeta. Yes, even in the West there are associations between blue and the word of God. I don't know how the connection with sadness comes. I know blue signifies passing in military traditions. I've read (long ago) that sadness actually influences vision, and greys are seen as blue...maybe there are answers there.
A very insightful and compassionate poem 10 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ and onto my fav list
Depression is another word for despair and hopelessness and such a malady is so crippling to our young
WE ALL SAY WHAT WE WANT TO EACH ONE IS BORN OF a different hue HOW ON EARTH ALL LOVE the blue SOME SAY WE ARE IN THE BLUE it's a different meaning you know too isn't it! though

What i read here, i dont get the blue feeling but a grey mood...such a clever idea of writing, playing colour to shade tone of the moods...i feel the pain, the struggle in this poem...its so nice to travel to someone place just by a write to feel this. somehow it makes me appreciate things more.
