ocean and sky
i am a noisy painter
loud and brash
palette knife swipes splash
blue sky crashes white
heat strokes blemish
the remnant past
strike out sound is
laughing out loud
seasick waves clash
the embarrassed moon
blushes like a tomato
colored in day glow
restless jealous surf
the sand tan a darkest earth
as wind cannot be seen
blows the dirt
that washes to shore
to know we are the seasons
of sun and snow and rain
there is a reason
why love remains
for every year in every way
it is the common thread
that keep us in good stead
that lead the rousing way
cooled by water from cold
clear streams
I offer you chai
in a summer of dreams
to try
to heal
with painting
an ocean and sky.
