“We do not remember days, we remember moments.” ― Cesare Pavese


Potpourri

Royally Arrayed

I am the sky on autumn days,
The oceans seen from outer space.
I am the plume a peacock spreads;
The wings of jays in flights of grace.

I am the hue in many eyes,
A mountain swallowtail in flight.
I am the heart within a flame,
A morning glory bathed in light.

I am a notable lagoon,
A gentian flower's summer glow.
I am the turquoise mined from rocks,
A fragile shell where robins grow.

I am the largest whale at sea.
I am delphiniums drenched in dew.
I am a gift God gave to man.
I am the regal color, blue.

Behind the Verse

Yes, the color blue is my favorite. It graces everything from the widest oceans and mountain swallowtails to fragile eggshells, capturing life's most regal and beautiful hues.
