About This Piece
“The Blues” is inspired by the following poem by Cleo Wade:
you will not have the blues forever
forever
is the only thing that lasts forever
when the night sky
falls upon you
look up at her
see the darkness and the vastness
of her blues
hold your eyes steady on her
watch
the sun sneak in
see how even she, the great big sky,
changes with
the new day
this too shall pass
