Water and Sky
You are my azure sky-
and I, your silver sea.
We merge at our horizon
in dawn's pale saffron light.
Late afternoon,
my violet waves shimmer
beneath your crimson sky.
And at Eventide,
your bright coral glow
warms my deep emerald sea.
In the dark of night,
your strong, deep jet hues
meet my quivering magnolia waves,
stirred by the bright moonbeams
that reflect and dance
with their song of love.
At last, my sea
gently ripples at the horizon's line,
cradled by your embracing sky,
as I drift into sweet carnation dreams-
until the dawning sun
once again wakes our horizon
to a majestic and brand-new day.
You are my azure sky-
and I, your silver sea.
