Music Colored Blue Poem by Smoky Hoss

The sound of the blues
Is the sound of the soul
At full operating depth
Where the disappointingly
Unsuccessful pieces of lost life
Are picked up
And finally, truly observed;
Sometimes tossed with disgust
Sometimes polished pearls
Cleaned brightly with
The heavy tears of regret
The gone water of
'What could've, should've been'
This old music colored blue
Will shake you
Break you, and
Oft times far, far away
Take you
Away from the now,
The do,
The want for love, into
The love for
Music... of the color
Blue
Where once again one can
Dance, and
Laugh, and
Love true...
It will take you
This masterful music
Colored so deeply blue.
