​The Bluish Hue~ By Patricia Rossi

1/28/2016

0 Comments

 
Night. I am doused in darkness it ignites a black suffocation from within me… but yet… I am able to see an ethereal light?

With apparent reticence dawn arrives shackled to an impenetrable fog. With the most deliberate of intents Mother Nature has silently woven a blanket of blindness… but yet… I am able to see threads of an ethereal light?

Stubbornly the fog dissipates and the cloudiest of skies emerge cloaked in shades of burnt charcoal gray…but yet… I am able to see an ethereal light?

Dusk arrives formally announced by the heaviest of rains. Tree limbs majestically bow to furious downpours, their leaves rhythmically detach, swirling in chaos… but yet… I am able to see an ethereal light?
The composite of this ethereal light… a bluish hue that beckons me to a place overflowing with love, compassion, kindness… peace.

The bluish hue?  For certain it is my mother’s eyes, glistening, shining down upon me enabling me to weather life’s storms, accept adversity and continue on.
