Immense Blue
Jun 7, 2025
Gaze out — eyes wet and wide —
into the cold, sprawling blue.
A blue of bones and skies and hollow shells,
forged like steel,
deep as every ocean ever dreamed.This blue turns grey —
sharp, metallic, sudden —
flashing like the breath of distant stars.It breaks upon the surface,
sinks deep into skin,
like a quiet love
lost in wave-crash and salt-surge.You feel it now —
thick, alive,
churning in your own silent core.Gaze deeper,
with storm-thought eyes,
into the old, unblinking gaze
of the elements —
and know the cold,
the brilliant,
immeasurable blue..
