"Two doves in white flying, feathers glow beneath the morning's rainbow colors" -- Charles Messina
A purple haze above the spectral rim
Of dusk’s horizon, orange and golden,
Against the gray of cirrostratus clouds
Capturing the magic of this day’s end.
I see faint blends of magenta and rose
Reflecting on the ocean’s ebbing tide
As the sun slips slowly into tomorrow
A reddish disc flinging up blurry hues
Its dying wish restored in dawn’s light,
Vibrant yellows in crystal shimmering
Across the waters quickly darkening
As glorious dusk becomes ebon night.

My daydreams
Wash over my brain like California rogue waves
I lay in my bathwater fantasies
Bathing in the infinite sunset
Sighing from the delight of this escape
My fears dissipate into the great nothingness of the sky
My forgiveness and patience rains down april showers from Cirrostratus clouds
Michelangelo's creation of adam rests gracefully across the wide expanse of sand
Stoically practicing the art of the religion that is yoga
I examine his masterpiece with my hands nameste at the heart.
