Of the Color Blue - Pamela Williams

[Larry Robinson]

Of the Color Blue
 
First in the stark relief
of black and white,
the day emerges through the cottonwoods.
Know the likelihood of that blue
that’s been called headstrong.
It’s the same one
that can represent the distance,
that can awaken the optimist within,
speaking in one of its assorted voices.
Listen carefully while assembling one’s self,
while choosing which mask to put on,
or to leave off.
Today’s reality show will attempt 
to make you the star,
competing agendas will clamor
for attention,
for center stage.
Hold tight to your heart center,
to your own firm resolve.
It is your circus,
and your choice of participating simians.

	- Pamela Williams
