Perfectionism: Blue

A robin’s egg blue vase,
porcelained very fine;
a mountain lake so clear
it shimmers blue-white
diamonds radiating the sun;
a sky azured with no trace
of white or gray, serene
in its pristine solitude;
the blue rose yet unfound.
Blues all fading when
placed aside the blue
act of creation, the blue
hill of Jerusalem, the blue
echoes of Armageddon’s
armies contending with
the blue wind of eternity.
