The hyacinth stood on the dusking rise, cerulean the waters did traverse, the reeds consenting daylight to the skies as pewter stones recited lapis verse. The burning pyres of sunlight floated west untouched by orchid mountains in the mist, the periwinkle shadows did invest in rising to the lingering deep kiss by weeping echoes trailing on the sea of fire and mangoes in most vibrant past, the lemon grasses lilting on the lea and scented mornings in their pungent cast. The shorebirds ceased their gospels upon sight as glowing whispers vanished in the night.
