when I go beyond to blue

 

when I go beyond to blue
a necessary place
when passion reds
and crazy yellows
jangle in my mind
all foreground
goes to background
and I am through
to easy lightness
and a cool suspend
where greens and purples
melt in streaks
from my consciousness,
then all I think is breathing
and all I feel is space
and all I hear is silence
and all I sense is…peace
