Blue

The colour of jubilant sky,
sapphire-crystal sea
a sign on a pregnancy kit

The womb feels strangely irrelevant
Disused
It's chatter echoes and falls silent
Unheard

An eternity
Stretches

The womb slumbers and dreams
Of baby-blue woollen socks
Chubby knees marked by playground grazes
Matted pig-tails and cherub faces
Twinkling brightly in the sun

Reminiscent of sapphire-crystal sea
Under a blue jubilant sky
