Into the Sunlight

The black water rolls upon the dark sand
As the gold of twilight unveils its string
The soft reds and light grays start to command
And rise slowly, as the day tries to cling
The black of the sea is touched by the sun
As it sinks beneath where sea and sky meet
Thin gray clouds stretch, as though a thread finespun
Weaving a tapestry for eyes to greet
To lay in the silent vastness and space
And capture the beauty, held in the mind
To linger still, in memories embrace
A picture painted to always remind
How soft the vision, when colors convene
When Nature allows,when painting a scene
