Turquoise is not a color pure.
It is a combination –
An adulteration.
Yet it does such lovely things
To my imagination.
Turquoise – I find it all around:
It spreads throughout the sky,
In water flowing by.
It’s woven throughout lovely stones
That catch my eye.
And so, a paradox I find:
That such a hybrid shade –
From other colors made –
Has beauty so distilled it makes
My heart quite glad.
