Your smile shines~
as the new morn breaks
upon wisteria water 
reflecting sunlight kisses 
on sleepy teal trees.

Your laughters echo~
upon the verdun leaves 
that radiate  a lilac shade 
as the sun goes up
like your eyes that sparkle in blue
transforming into Caribbean hue
on our first glance.

Your song soars~
in synch with celestial symphony
above each passing cloud
where silver memory
of a love lost and found is carved.

That magical morning scene
near Giverny...
unveils a story written~
etched on the beaming branches 
of the whispering wild willows.

The shy sky behind them~
wishes to kiss the gleaming water
where silent sanctuaries are sheathed
upon the indigo shadow,
accentuated by lime hue,
embracing purple highlights,
glazed by mauve lavender 
mirrored on the water
where lofty love story dwells~ 
perpetuated by each sunrise.
