Blue Therapy

blue therapy

I wish the power to heal was mine

I'd make you right as rain

whenever suffering raised its head

I'd make you right again

I give you all the grace you'd need

to stand and rise above

enable thoughts to come my way

on fragrant wafts of love

I know how pain weights down our hearts

prevents us from our dreams

when every step we strive to take

an uphill battle seems

how can our soul be light and lush

when burdened down with woe

could I, I'd add it to my own

so love might freely flow

my heart is full as it has been

with true desire for you

I will your days, in lieu of gray

bright colors...every hue

then, spirits buoyed, your darkness ebbed

now lighter skies enthuse

supplanting gray of every day

with hints of brighter blues

so, come to me, my love...my life

in sunshine, pray, delight

with heart renewed, fresh hope imbued

fresh-bathed in soft blue light

and share with me as lovers do

our time...our touch...our dream

together, make sweet memories

where moments perfect seem

Beautiful thoughts poetically rendered in alternating iambic tetrameter and trimeter.

Lovely expose on the healing power of sky-blue light, which has a pretty sound scientific basis.

Thanks for sharing with Gather's Luminous Writers and Artists. Featured.

Very well done! Has a nice ring to it and a good flow too - there is one small typo namely 'weighs down' - other than that excellent piece! Top class!

Beautiful piece, Stephen. After reading Ann's link, I think we all need to invest in more fluorescent lights for our "aging eyes".

stephen berwaldt Feb 12, 2013, 2:58am UTC

I agree...thank you for reading and cmmenting
