First Day of Summer

A misty ocean 
touches umber cliffs as chintz 
grass tendrils downward 
toward tidal foam on summer's
tangerine and teal debut

You create beauty using such abstract words that somehow melt into your theme and disappear among your thoughts.

That's probably the nicest thing anyone's ever said to me. But your comment is also beautifully written.
