Mirror

Salvaged driftwood and polished mirror glass
                                          framed summer's tranquil past
                                      photograph moments compared
               to complex highlights which  pale, where staring eyes wear

                                                In artificial light glare 
                                            perfect vision's impaired

                                 Photographic memory,clever subtley 
                                       and trick camera's precision
                                each rythmic stroke...creative wisdom
                       its brilliance begins where pastel colors blend

                                          Its pretty warped patterns
                                       mirror gentle subject matter

   Citrus spiral sun, spider orchid smearings, yellow painted tongues
                                              coral floral pedals 
                     dappled fine verdant lines...its silent orchard meadow

                                           Summer skylight gentle blue 
                   vased velvetine flowers gleam...crystal morning dewed
