Dreams In Shades Of Blue

He told me lonely in a crowd

(I knew him not, he was anon)

That wishes only grow aloud

Or underwater in a pond.

To save my life, I took a pot

And planted evergreen and rue.

And there I found that like as not

Hid laughter, rest and joy a few

And under cover opened up

Like periwinkle in a cup.
