Ode to the Artist of the Sunset Mural The sky is colored with charcoal tints and shades of your soul that swirl and fly in a celestial sea that feathers your grace The vibrant shade of a peacock feather merges with the underbelly of a wren the lavender abandon of the rose has been swept into the opening begonia Your blue has so many seasons and to set into the horizon of your day is to glimpse a color wheel that has swirled and fused majestic and where the fire sits into the sea the desert sand has called and been blessed with heated sulfur until the sky melts The dark bound earth has feasted laying awed and captured has called in the cicada’s charm to hold the heat in perfect harmony rock me in the sand of your landscape under the cactus lay me down fill my need with rainbows of your whim and nurture my dreamy dare with majesty you are my artist ---- repost for Taylor 7-00 |

Martie, Many images of delight. Except I think that is too close to the cactus. Thanks. If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again. |

Your blue has so many seasons and to set into the horizon of your day is to glimpse a color wheel that has swirled and fused majestic I love the way you give life to your words, Martie... ~ skyblue hugs Lyra |
