Music Colored Blue

The sound of the blues Is the sound of the soul At full operating depth Where the disappointingly Unsuccessful pieces of lost life Are picked up And finally, truly observed; Sometimes tossed with disgust Sometimes polished pearls Cleaned brightly with The heavy tears of regret The gone water of 'What could've, should've been' This old music colored blue Will shake you Break you, and Oft times far, far away Take you Away from the now, The do, The want for love, into The love for Music... of the color Blue Where once again one can Dance, and Laugh, and Love true... It will take you This masterful music Colored so deeply blue.
