    Whispers of Blue

    In the quiet hush of dawn,
    Soft blue whispers paint the sky,
    Gentle waves that kiss the shore,
    Sing of peace as they go by.

    Clouds drift slow in morning’s hue,
    A tranquil dance of soft and true,
    Blue horizons stretching far,
    Like a dream where hearts renew.
