A wisp
Dec 2, 2022
A night in blue
the tones of it
color the sky
and shade the buildings.
It shares the scene
with young lovers and old friends;
it plays a long note
in a jazz score.
The blue travels
like a wisp
from one to another;
it captures a moment
like a whisper
from a lover
who was first
your best friend.
The warmth of blue,
the promise of midnight
the blurred moment
from a sip of wine,
the clinking of glasses
and the sharing of good company.
The wisp transports us
to a promise—
one we feel in our bones
that there’s a life
without the pain…
a place where we can escape
into the night
and the blue
will protect us
with its magic.
