Powder blue, baby blue with cloud white fluff
reflected on transitory liquid lacquer canvas
long shadows of nature's anchored evergreens
translated into deep purples close shore line
Gaia's paint brush taking avant-garde liberty
enraptured, she mirrors pure, then blurs lines
filter softening, still crisp air of morning light
pink edges to her fluff with deep cores of gray
out across the lake rises cliffs of tannery brown
melding carmine edge mixed with shore grass
sweeping out on water swimming current ripples
then comes the calm pristine in the glass middle
where sharp cliff peaks and sky meet and blend
life's breath taking cyclorama as one moves to view
