untitled, but prompted

Apparently misinformed about the rumored   

stuff of dreams: everywhere I inquired,   

I was told look for blue.

Blue, by Carl Phillips
Blue, within the depths of seas that
reach-
-and roil,
and throw their tumultuous
tides- High,
in desperation for the moon that I-
Earthbound- forever see reflected within the blue
tongues of flickering flame that devour the darkened
blue-veined ebony wood
That once grew tall, wound with
blue-
-tipped
ivy.
Spreading branches that with every breeze
seemed to whisper ‘blue’ 
Beneath a sky scattered with shattered glass-
jagged edges tinged
with blue.
