Blue

Blue – like the infinite shade of the sky above a fjord

Fathomless – hiding secrets buried deeper than the Marianas Trench

Shuttered – allowing only that which is desired to be seen

How can he so easily

Hide behind wide-open,

Guileless blue eyes,

An engaging smile and banter?

He distracts with the unwary

Letting them see

Exactly what he wants them to

A jovial, good-timing cowboy.

Have you ever seen past

The joyous adoration he gives

Each and every woman he comes across

No matter age, beauty, or station?

To him, woman is a delight

A gift from Heaven to be enjoyed

A gentle soul to uplift and soften

And bestow with his adoration.

Age to him means experience,

Beauty to him begins in the soul,

Riches are those of the heart.

Have you ever truly looked

Into those fathomless eyes

As he watches the town amidst

One of his introspective days?

Those days he briefly exposes

A sensitive man hidden away

One who looks for good and hope

In every situation he encounters.

He cares enough to weather the storms

That often destroy friendships

In the hope of better things to come.

Have you every noticed the silence

That vanishes under his teasing

Clowning and joking ways?
