Beneath a Saffron Sky

I stand upon a lilac beach Beneath a saffron sky the ocean laps around my feet I'm here again, but why The trees of frozen fire line the quiet shore The second sun just rising A sight that I adore A stranger stands beside me he's pointing out to sea I shade my eyes from the glare and wonder what could be He walks into the water and beckons me to follow I trip and stumble on a rock My heart, it's full of sorrow Each time that I return here I hope to see what lies Beyond the waves where he walks Beneath those saffron skies Contest : Dreams 4th Place

Saffron Skies gave me a vivid picture with a cool tale! I have noticed such a difference in the sky lately. The clouds are so feathery and low with zig zags. U? I see why you won in this contest!

Wow! Apt and striking: the beach, the sorrow, a mixed grill of reality. Tor.
