Blue Flags

Hoisting blue flags is not a hobby
But is, and should be a routine, like breathing, eating
Reading, writing or singing songs
Hoisting blue flags is not an option – everyone
Should hoist at least one blue flag, must
Hoist a blue flag a day, every one
That flies high atop the forts, graying towers
With clock dials, spears kissing misty morning skies

Soon
Closer to the stars, casting shadows on the moon
Only the blue flags hoisted - can and will
Mark the stars and the moon and the clouds
With their shadows cast,
Signatures of our own moments lived
Bathed in moon light, memories of starry bejeweled moonlit

Nights
