These Blues

So I wrote this yesterday laying outside on the trampoline, wrapped up in a sleeping bag. This is still the first draft - I feel like it needs more, but I wanted to post it anyway.

Today I realized 
that these eyes of mine
took too much sky in
They were once the color 
of a morning grey
now the afternoon blue is in

Can't seem to help
this wide-eyed curiosity
I don't mind taking color from the world I see
but what will it take from me

I wonder if I waited 
would tonight's sky bring
the reds and golden hues
I wonder if I looked 
too hard and long
would I lose these afternoon blues

I like it, I like anything you write, you're gifted that way.
I don't know what it could need.
