Chagall Blue
The following poem is inspired by a fantastic poem titled "Blue" by @K_K_writes on June 11, 2023 here on Writco. I took the first line completely from her. And I can't phrase this first verse any better, but tried to bring in another hue. 'Chagall blue' came to my mind since beautiful light shines through Marc Chagall's famous church windows.

i buried you in my heart
where over time
flowers began to bloom
some in violet
but most in blue

fragrant petals in
sky blue ocean blue
chagall blue
other bluish
shades

i buried you
in my heart
blue petals in
the evening light
at sunset

Some words ("buried", "shades") suggest sadness and melancholy. But as a counterpoint to this, the flowers stand as a symbol of the continued existence of beautiful memories and feelings. — At the end I added an reddish-orange spot (in Chagall style...)

Finally, a tip: Google the words "chagall" and "blue" and display the images you find. 💙✨

Think I will work on this poem further in the future...
