What color was the sky, the sea
Your eyes, so wild fierce and free
Blown away like lions seed
A shattered bit of memory
The color of the sky, the sea
Now gone as Edens final dew
Surrounded now by other hues
We have no choice we shall make do
Though gone are things so fresh so new
So clean and pure as Edens dew
We'll soon forget what we once saw
Took for granted never awed
The sky and sea will turn to grey
And so begins another day
As we forget what we once saw
One day by oceans side we'll stand
Toes dug deep into the sand
And know that something we have lost
Though what it was we had forgot
As by oceans side we stand
What color was the sky, the sea
Your eyes, so wild fierce and free
Blown away like lions seed
A shattered bit of memory
The color of the sky, the sea

- Comment from author about the poem: Please share your own take on the poem in the comments before reading the rest of my note; I'd love to see how this poem speaks to you as a reader. The day that I wrote the poem I was particularly depressed, and wanted more than anything to know what it would be like to be happy again, because I had honestly forgotten. Then, during band class, my band teacher noticed how my crushes eyes perfectly matched the blue of his shirt. (Hey Mark!) Since a few days before, Mr. B had commented on my eyes matching my hoodie, that moment stuck in my head. I was thinking about that while I walked home, depression is like what would happen if the world lost a color, and everyone knew that we had lost it, we just couldn't figure out what it was. (The color symbolizing happiness) Sorry if that made no since, I'm only 13

This is really something I dig. The rhyming is cool. 5 lines per stanza is cool. The concept is cool and, at the moment for me at least, really relatable. Keep posting for sure, your style reminds me of the way that I write and I'd love to see more.
