indigo
you underappreciated color you
in between violet and blue
stuck in the middle, paying your dues

when we think of you
we think of evening summer storms
seen to be a common weather form
with pattering rain and hail thorns

the sky swirls with you all around
defining pinpricks of light
to star seekers delight
shaping their faces to be without fright

indigo
oh indigo
you color you
sad and blue
it's true
but well worth your time to get to see you
