Ceanothus Blue
Sue O'Donnell

Ceanothus blue, what a glorious hue,
But how exactly can I best describe you?
You do not reflect the sky not usually, for you are too deep a shade.
What about the blue haze over the mountain steep?
No, I do not think so, for your colour is clearer.
Baby blue is not accurate too,
Neither is marine, nor royal, nor delphinium blue, not really.
There must be some way to describe you!
Not like the bluebell in the wood,
So should I think about the shade of cornflower?
Now that is somewhat nearer.

Ceanothus blue, what a glorious hue,
But how exactly can I best describe you?
You do not reflect the sky not usually, for you are too deep a shade.
What about the blue haze over the mountain steep?
No, I do not think so, for your colour is clearer.
Baby blue is not accurate too,
Neither is marine, nor royal, nor delphinium blue, not really.
There must be some way to describe you!
Not like the bluebell in the wood,
So should I think about the shade of cornflower?
Now that is somewhat nearer.
Ceanothus blue, a beautiful blue,
A blue to discover the glory of colour.
But what a task to do,
To try to describe you is difficult!
Perhaps it will suffice to say ‘Thank You, Lord’.
All blue is beautiful, particularly ceanothus blue.
Perhaps the inability to describe accurately
Is a part of Your mystery?
Anyway it is exciting to be met by a challenge!


Mysterious Lord, thank You for ceanothus blue, almost impossible to describe. The shade changes according to its
stage of growth growing from pastel to deeper. Also according to sunlight and shadow. I think You like to keep us
working on a challenge! Whatever is the best way to describe ceanothus blue, blue is a heavenly colour which can
draw us nearer to You. Thank You for each and every shade of blue, so glorious all the year through, not only in
the ceanothus blue. Amen.
