Clarity

Clarity



So crystal today
So very clear
Dusted hazes vanished
Horizon sharp expansive
Chooses from shoreline colour
To blue sea tranquile
Flecked by yacht white sails
Cleaned
Pristine


Auburn Hair


Whitewashed silver sun draws crisp
Edged shades of mornings
Cool breezes shimmer
Palm leaves eager spruced and washed
Beneath the azure
Prairies of skies


Hazel eyes


A thousand windows glitter
From their courtyard niches
The deeping distance
Of this secret emancipated
Soars the outreach 
Stretching spaces
A flight of dreams
On butterfly wings


Her smile
