Premium Member View It From Afar

Pretty as a Periwinkle,
in your frilly summer frock,
the one with purple polka dots
that matched the cool of early dawn.

		As heart strings strum secret chords
		As transcendental images appear
		Stargazers are lost for words

In the magnificence of the submerging sun,
I glanced upon her admiring its majesty.
Amidst hues of clementine and lilac,

To listen expectantly for the sounds of infant waves

was no longer content in solitude;
