Deep cobalt blue sea
Saturates my eyes and soul
I carry you home.
——-
Leave your safe haven
deceived by a shiny hook
mahi mahi fish.
——-
Graceful, curious
wary of our spectacle
albatross drafting
——-
Capricious wind comes
Splatters paint across the deck
Nature creates art
——–
Paint chips and rust fly
Needlegun aria is
Heavy metal sound
