Blue Hour

by Unrequited   Aug 27, 2007


It's that moment when everything is still
your heart stops beating
your lungs stop breathing
the innocent stop bleeding
when all life pauses,
and folds itself into that hour...
when everything turns blue.

the dead forget about dying
fliers abandon their flying
rain refrains from falling
the earthworms quit their crawling
fires cease their burning
lovers halt their yearning
tree branches no longer sway
the sunlight begins to fall away...
and then it stops!

in the air,
everything and nothing.
your mind will fail to think
these eyes can't even blink
Within this hour,
we drown in blue
as sun and moon blend as one.

blue is the color of life,
and we are subjected to its beauty.
for these moments, we gaze
into the sky
our eyes patiently waiting to shed a tear.

i will hold this grace
within my heart
and fold my love
into this hour...
as we drown ourselves in blue.

    Very well written. Loved the two stanzas above. Beautiful sentiments and flow.
