You Know How Is It To Be Blue Poem by RIC BASTASA

you know how is it to be blue
you sailed once on top and you plunged
deep down under
the rage of the river

you know how is it to be inside
a certain darkness and silence
you know how is it be just a river
this will haunt us forever

you know how is it to be inside the cave
filled with water and rage and rampage
of stone and waves

you know how is it to be a river
flowing and going away
you know how is it to be bluer than blue
and foamy and angry

you know how is it to be deep just being deep
and it is enough for me and then you go away.

let me stay on the depths of these mysteries
i like the blueness of blue, the deepening of the deep

i like it here, deep and silent, even without you.
