Water Games

Shimmering reflections swim
Racing out against the tide
Liquid visions streaked with gold
Playing chase with the sunlight
On the ocean waves they sail
'Til the moon casts shadows down
Then it's painted silhouettes
Adorned with liquid silver
That play games throughout the night
Speeding toward the dawn's sunrise
To claim their golden trophies
And bathe in morning sunshine

This liquid sunshine is very beautiful! I especially like the line, "Adorned with liquid silver" as I can envision that completely in my head with the waters flowing in the dark shadowed silhouettes! I love the images that you paint in this poem my friend! What an awesome poem! Great Work!!
