This is a haunting poem. I was struck by this passage in particular:

but will today

as you choose

that step

of faith

to write a verse

your blue soul

has always known

I'm going to be thinking about this for a bit.

that now

becomes flesh,

This is my favorite poem of yours yet, Brian. It really connected to something in me. And I keep thinking of all of the ways I could use this as inspiration or a prompt for artmaking with clients in an art therapy session. Bookmarking it :).

I absolutely agree, Susie. This poem is art in and of itself, and the imagery is so powerful and so fluid that is almost begs for more art to be created. Thanks for sharing it, Brian!

"the first step

onto a blue wave

that should not

but will today"

When you finally lie down to admire the blue sky and the blue water, you hear the whispered reassurance that it's never too late to embrace your true self and follow your dreams. Blue is not just a colour but a metaphor for the depths of the soul and the boundless possibilities of imagination.
