Blue

The wind containing whispers
Of softly spoken prayers
Caresses my cheek
And I feel the lonesome
Thoughts of others who
Are as blue as
The ocean is deep

    Dana, this says so much with few words...blue as the ocean is deep, not an easy place to be.

    You got me with the whispers of softly spoken prayers - and held me captive right to the end.

    I would say the same as Heaven. To empathize with those who are lonely is a giving and thoughtful thing to do. Beautifully worded, Dana.

    I love the empathy in this....it's like falling into a warm hug. So much packed into these lines.

    The wind always seems to carry something special on it. Music, smells of the ocean, the warmth of summer... why not "softly spoken prayers". This was nice.
