Blue’s Truth
A bright blue sky accentuates an agave in bloom, Anza-Borrego Desert State Park, Southern California
Nothing’s truer than the blue of a desert sky,
Though I have to say to you I’m not certain why.
Blue’s truth is firmly rooted where no eye can see,
In a place beyond the sky called eternity.
