Out of the Blue

Out of the Blue

Who came up with the phrase
‘out of the blue’???

Why not out of the red,
yellow or green?

‘Out of the Blue???’

Why not purple, orange or pink?

Wait, ‘out of the blue’
rises a sun filling the blueness…
expanding its brilliance revealing
no boundaries whatsoever.

One tiny bird
perched on a branch
—its platform—
and sings the ‘blues.’

Each note adds to the hues
circling the burning flame
imbued in a sky of blue

as if ‘out of NOwhere!’
