Cotton candy pinks and marshmallow whites
flaunt iridescent sheens buffed by the sun.
And colored clouds, lined with mother-of-pearl,
are hung in the sky like a prize fairly won.
Darkness gathers like tattered strands of gray,
strewn across a sky of indigo blue.
And stars glitter as a dying sun shrinks
to a crimson ball with a scarlet hue.
Ebony fingers scratch at the night sky
like inky tentacles grasping for light.
And as camouflaged greens morph into black,
silhouetted abstracts merge in the night.
Liquid amber burns atop umber waves,
highlighting their frothy, foamy whitecaps.
And golden beams gild glistening waters
as cascading breakers crash and collapse.
Playful breezes tickle leaves on the trees,
sending laughter tumbling down to the sand.
And as Sol dies, wrapped in a scarlet shroud,
time's suspended, and reality's banned.
