Blue

blue-eyes.jpg

blue as my grandfather’s eyes

which are mirrored in my mother’s

and mirrored in mine

 

passed down the generations

like precious gems

maybe sapphire mixed with aquamarine

 

but somehow more gray

with flecks of darkness

scattered across

 

blue as the fjords

that my ancestors

traveled across

 

on a cloudy day

that threatens

snow

 

now the blue

has stopped its journey

remaining only in my eyes

 

blue as my grandfather’s

blue as my mother’s

blue
