Water World
I had always loved being near deep-sea water, and I was never too far away,
As the beauty of fresher tomorrow, is but mystic hours from prevalent today.
I enjoyed swimming and boating and surfing, and even walking in light rain,
Like aromatic blooms, shrubs and thirsty trees, with no reasons to complain.
I lived in a sun washed

Watercolors
Watercolor memories paint
Enchanted mountains in my mind,
And sunshine's glow upon my face
Time to reflect and reacquaint
With friends so treasured and kind,
Reconnecting with God's grace
I felt joy, I had no complaint
With stars above I felt aligned
Like a time traveller in space
But time is not without constraint

Like Watercolors
mother taught me about gardens ...
all winter she would ponder ... and make plans
selecting flowers by texture and shape
in a tapestry of colors
like bright sun jewels
and on planting "day"

of the long day's city heat
blurred traffic light reflections
painted puddles on the street.

Abstract Watercolors
I was cooped inside all the afternoon,
Missing tree and bush and garden madness;
But from my window I saw abstract blooms,
In rain's watercolors, nature's canvas!
They brightened the day, in absence of sun,
While the storm distorted without mercy,
Views of bold colors, from the lush season,
As the frantic blooms made many a curtsey.
The day was dark and the

WATERCOLORS
If dawn has any value other than being a pretty picture
It is that the start of a new day offers potential
And the second chance we so often need:
For life is a series of mistakes interrupted by temporary successes
Which masquerade as victories for some and defeats for others;
But both are illusions and their colors can be,

Watercolors
Teardrops on my lashes
clinging oh so tight
afraid of falling down
and melting on the ground.
So delicate and fragile
like each minute of the day
as a new one starts to form
the old ones fade away
Just a simple reminder
all the good that's kept inside
may someday go unspoken
as it's washed up in the tide.
As you feel your

Watercolors
l live amidst
a watercolor world,
The colors they are many. (colors)
Blue it seems I
feel that way more
often than I care to.
Pink and purple in
the sunset that I so love.
Green all around me
in everything that grows.
You see I have my own
set of watercolors that
Make up a beautiful rainbow
that flows

Watercolors
It is painted in water colors
light blue spreading out the farthest
then comes light splotches of white
you can almost see the brush move
as pink and yellow are added
orange touches the bottom
blending with a rich red
baby blue is the backdrop
then comes the pink
its bottomed out by orange
above it lies a thin layer of purpilsh
