under the deepness of blue, there is brown
an aged color, it marks life
blue that is energy and youth and day
meets time that is smart and lively and night
and blue fades to brown, if we're lucky
a deep brown, a book holding the secrets, all of them
in a timely and beautiful pattern
behind accomplished and experienced lids
brown knows so much
both of day and of night
of time and of worth
under blue skies, blue waters, blue earth
there is the brown that knows, that smiles
and laughs because it can pace without worry
it can feel knowing much pain
it can live and it can die
and it can learn
but it knows
that blue enriched is brown
because it once was blue
