From Memory

Mind reels in poetic thought, painting my world in deep hues of sky

Flicked wrist, turned head, fluttering breath

Streaking gold illuminates the horizon, flashing long shadows of a pitching sea

Salty balm swathes my face

Find the spot, see the forever

Painted emotion, studied eye

Turn this way, turquoise in velvet plum

Twist that way, silver gleams from the forgotten corner

Overwhelmed, taken, lost

Deeply rippled, layered in contrast

Given to tomorrow, hold to yesterday

For here is your heart
