Summer comes to a ripple of waves
where palms bend and sway
beneath leafy shadows
diffusing the heat rising
changing sands from warm topaz
to cameo
blending into cool gray.

Drifting wood
widdles away
worn and smooth
sea shells fade to pastel shades
natures beauty lies  
adrift
like soft cotton
caressing the shapeless wind.

Calm passes in the silent stillness
like a whispered hush
in slow motion
beneath a crescent moon rising
settles down
low in the summer sky.

Moved
by the endless turning of tides.

truly love the opening lines..and the rest of course, but these lines with your addition of color, the contrast of heat and cool and use of cameo.. truly are fine...

"Calm passes in the silent stillness

Dear Lori, I think the moon reaches for you to kiss your front for creating such a magical scenery with your poem!

Absolutely gorgeous in its entirety.

The title caught my eye, but the body of the poem blew me away. Excellent writing, Blues, enjoyed much.

This is my favorite stanza here, with the word play and then the title lines. Enjoyed reading this work!
