today's poem a day challenge from poetic asides

For today's prompt, I want you to pick a color, make that the title of your poem, and write a poem that is inspired by that color.

my response-

aqua

something along shores
of a gently breathing ocean
something along skies
of a breathless train
a falling thundering rain
a newly birthed lifeform
a cresting wave

something solid that overcomes you
turns to liquid, scales back into
blue
you listen for it, hear it among the
birds and wilderness, hear it among
the lakes and waters
vivdly it renders you helpless
as you sink deep
