Inspiration In Blue

angels fly by their very nature

but even an angel needs to be inspired

to fly higher

we look at the sky we look at you

both make us want to lose ourselves

in the high of the blue

the soul-restoring shade

God so lovingly supplied

up above and in your eyes

we couldn't live there, but we tried

(who could blame us?)

finding the heavens in your view

the very definition of cerulean true

just the word is known to hypnotize

but add the power of those eyes

and the way your smile

can make us come undone

the way it stretches for a mile

shines like the sun

and the way you can speak

at a level barely out-loud

almost like your voice

has been dusted with cloud

and just like the sky

produces drops of rain

you coax from us tears

with your beautiful pain

do you know

the countless flights you've inspired?

do you blush

to find yourself so admired

after one too many an awe-filled gaze?

is that what colors the sky

with a sunset haze?

and speaking of sunsets

seems the hourglass sands

have all slipped through

slipped right through our hands

but though we're sad, we will sleep to dream

and we'll never forget how to use our wings

and we'll never fly too far away

or stop seeing you

in the blue of a new day
