Blossom of Colour

Does colour blossom 
where the ocean meets the sky
Where the dazzle of orange sizzles 
into the cool blue with a sigh
 
While purple hued clouds 
flit and flutter
And the white capped waves
Pulse and shutter
 
The hues of time and tide
measure golden yellow to raging red
Still to the depths of an abyss
teal, to green, where I lay my head
 
The grey wisps of wind
echo the lavender breath of the sea
A cerulean ease and rhythm 
offered as a prayer to thee
 
No angry black green waves
to terrify the lustrous moon
Only a plum glassy surface
a mirror to the universal hewn
 
From the velvet purple
giving a window to galaxies beyond
Springs the smatter of turquois
Like magic from the tip of a wand 
 
On through the spectrum
sways my bed of tonal light
Until the indigo blends to magenta
And day marches over the night
 
By the birth of garnet dawn 
the navy aqua shatters like glass 
And pink pomegranate rays peek 
over a horizon grown in mass
 
To this a lovers first kiss 
this meeting of air to water
Of rainbow of colours
an artist doodles the blotter
