Into the Sunlight

The black water rolls upon the dark sand As the gold of twilight unveils its string The soft reds and light grays start to command And rise slowly, as the day tries to cling The black of the sea is touched by the sun As it sinks beneath where sea and sky meet Thin gray clouds stretch, as though a thread finespun Weaving a tapestry for eyes to greet To lay in the silent vastness and space And capture the beauty, held in the mind To linger still, in memories embrace A picture painted to always remind How soft the vision, when colors convene When Nature allows,when painting a scene 5/9/14
