Somehow your eyes speak a natural truth
Knowing they have gazed upon galaxies they are twin planets
Your mind soars far above the norm into the bluest of skies
Never give up nor compromise
Your beliefs, time can be a thief
I feel your mental striving towards success
Give it your all & your best
The grind is real so hold on to
All wisdom bestowed upon you
Realize and embrace your rightful place
Stand firm in lessons learned
Implement with confidence
There is a dreamer inside you destined 2 guide you
There is calm in the color blue
Remember these words
So organic so true
The ebb and flow of life is like
A slow winding stream
It's closer than it may seem
You will achieve
Your own
Blue Dream
From: Uptown Déjà Vu
Summary
“Blue Dream” by Jimmie Ware is a poem centered on memory, music, aging. The poem develops its subject through recurring images and shifts in emotional pressure rather than reducing the experience to a single statement.
Analysis
Voice
A personal, first-person speaker combines recollection with direct emotional address.
Style and form
The poem is line-driven, compressed, first-person. The poem moves by accumulation: images, references, and tonal turns build on one another, so meaning emerges from their relationships as much as from narrative sequence.
Themes and imagery
Its strongest thematic currents include memory, music, aging. Concrete images give those abstractions physical weight, while changes in diction and pace keep the poem from settling into a single emotional register.
Reading the poem
A productive way to read “Blue Dream” is to watch how its images change function as the poem progresses. Details that initially establish scene or memory become emotional evidence. The result is a poem whose argument is carried through association, rhythm, and image as much as through explicit statement.
