all shades of blue

in the blue
of the evening,
bird calls melt
into dreamy ripples,
going home
after a long day,
clouds stay and gather
together in their tribe,
hiding the stars
with their heaviness,
the sky sinks
into the depths
of her own mystery,
growing beautiful
with every moment,
trees etch dark lines,
standing up
for who they are,
against everything else
fast disappearing,
and a still ocean waits,
with no hurry
to kiss the shores
of her longing,
while silence
lowers her head
and blushes
in all shades of blue.
