Milky blue splash, and a dash-
of seasalt, glittering shards smashed
like glass in roadside gutter.
Rocks like jagged scars, reaching the stars
which explode in twilight ecstasy
the firmament reflecting over seldom still waters
which in brief rest are nature's mirror
to show us the true beauty of things
Milky ocean splash, and a flash-
of sun shimmer, gold like true hearts dashed
but mending all the same
And the white horses flurry, over
the rocks to the shore, to turn the hourglass
in their favour, reclaiming the sands of time
which are always shifting the balance.
Milky wave crash, and a splash-
of aquamarine, colour of my dreams
which like stars are always fading away.
