A Clear Blue Jar

A clear blue jar
Ivor Steven / Coffee House Writers

Lying here daydreaming 
Gazing up at the sky 
Wondering how 
We perceive hues?
Why is our sky blue? 
And why say “feeling blue” 
When it’s not true  
The blue I see 
Is no one’s fool  
So why tease me    

I swear, every face in the crowd  
Wore your forever smile  
Which shines on every dial  
Like yesteryear’s last mile  
Facing your time in style  
Happy faces, new and old alike 
Beaming faces from afar 
Smiling at your face 
There beyond 
This clear blue jar
