 Blue Scribbles Challenge #54
<br/> Get a playlist! Standalone player Get Ringtones





Frequently when I think of Thoughts, I think of blue.
One deeply caring sapphire eye, looking down on us
Watching this complex universe in a midnight blue sky.


A galactic intermingling of divergent heavenly bodies
Swirling around, setting no pace. Intermittent firings
Of words. Words that expose a myriad of emotions.



Themes that come in colors like yellow and red, but often,
And mostly blue. Pain and suffering, addictions and illness,
Love that hurts and love that dies. These storytellers of the blues
Are men and women, though sometimes children, who wear it well.


Their words bleed indigo. I feel a tear fall in a trail down my cheek.
Sitting here, reading their afflictions, bathed in a pale blue monitor glow.
They have sent me a tormented cosmic message that reaches my soul
And from out of the blue, my mood woefully descends into the blue
.



*There are many bloggers who come here to pour their hearts out over personal tragedy and despair.  Sometimes they post once, sometimes they post many times a day.  Their voices are heard, yet we often don't know how to console them or we're inadequate with words to soothe or help them.  I want them to know that they have a voice here and someone hears them.

You have done nothing short of touch my soul with this one, Dear Lady.

It is truly amazing the brief glimpses we are given into the hearts, minds and very essences of many bloggers here on Thoughts. I have been touched deeply by many, and touched deeply many times by you.

Thanks, Michael. I couldn't pick just one blogger and it seemed like the right thing to do, giving this group of Thoughtsters a nod.

A beautiful poetic summary of Thoughts, and the feelings that come out of it.

Thanks Larry. These Scribbles challenges force me to see things in new ways.

oh my..all teary.. how kind and loving.. we all feel this way I think.. but our loving support has driven much of the dark away for some of our friends.. and hopefully more soon..

Now isn't that a lovely thought...I hope we do make a difference. I hope there is healing through the writing, the connections, the care and concern...the love.

Blue on blue, heartache on heartache... The shoulders to lean on make the blues easier to take. Thanks for your sensitive 'mood indigo' blog.

I've been trying to come up with a way to do something like this. I love it! What a nice community you guys have here.

This reminds of Lyn Barnes: deliberately not meeting the challenge. But very well not met. :)

You have reached in to my soul and gently touched me. Lovely.

Thank you, Greunie. It's so sweet of you to share that with me.

You have captured beautifully in words what I have found here at Thoughts. Scratch the surface of the banter, and there lies at times a deep pain underneath. Thanks for reminding me of that.

There is often great beauty in pain and sorrow. It is a crucial and necessary part of the human condition.

This is such a beautiful reminder that we must hold those hearts given to us very tenderly lest we crush them. :)

You said that so beautifully, Bootsy...I often feel that image when I read their blogs.
