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?
