Paint me a mosaic
Shadowed wavelets in a row
In the spaces inbetween
The sun's afterglow
Make it molten flow-
ing
Copper, silver sheet
Then slip it here
Inside my heart
Where it can softly
Beat
This is offered for Poets United Poetry Pantry poetryblogroll.blogspot.com where I swim with and am inspired by my fellow poets, and Poetic Bloomings prompt of "waves" a month of beach related poems, come splash around :-) PS I took the photo on an evening in Florida Bay, loved the patterns and molten feel of it
I like the ending of this one, unexpected, intriguing.
