Kim Van Breda Poet Imagism

Pansy Shells On Pismo Beach

sun sets graciously on gentle horizon
kissing silky damp beach

goodnight

shades of mauve and salmon rose as
waves lap soft blue sighs

skylight

dusk illuminates iridescent white
fragile flowers resting on

sand

bouquets that shower shore as
countless pansy shells crown

land


(Inspired by our recent trip down California/ Pacific drive-- Pismo is half way between 'Frisco' and L/A-- I was overwhelmed by this sunset walk and the hundreds of white pansy shells scattered on the sand--perfect flowers engraved on them reflecting God's amazing creation)

You just haven't lived.
