Coastal Sunset

ship rotting near shore
prismatic colors dancing...
     ocean’s reflections

nature kisses sea
multi-hues will fade at dusk...
     another dawn waits



*Based on the photo of the ship in the sea at sunset.

With the images of a rotting ship in my vista. I see a maritime rustic painting that surely delights my eyes. I see a creation of man with so many stories. Good luck in pd's contest Carolyn < I'm fine by the way. My monies are sorted. I do hope to have my flat in the New Year, with Lorena joining me. Thank you always for your kind support over the years. Many hugs for you :)
