Greening the Blues Away: An Ekphrastic Poem

 Hi! I have been locked away in the office/studio making art and writing.  It is fun when both happen simultaneously, like this one did tonight: 









Greening the Blues Away 

Greening
the Blues 
Away, sending troubles 

up 
to Sky, 
where sorrow belongs

far 
away from 
heartbeats, let the 

troubles 
fly upward,
tears flow downward, 

mixing 
Sky with 
salt, until absorbed 

by
dirt and 
trees and greens

and 
flowers facing
Sky once again 

Greening
the Blues 
away, sending troubles 

up 
to Sky, 
where sorrow belongs,

where 
sorrow belongs,
send troubles away

I had to look up ekphrastic and now I embrace the word. Love the piece and the poem.
