When life gives you Monday,
dip it in glitter and
sparkle all day!

grip on the day.
This painted ocean
breathes anyway.
Brushstrokes ripple
like memory on the bay.
Whales leap
through dusk's doorway,
their bodies dappled
with the last rose gold light.
They do not hurry.
sun’s language fades
across their backs,
The real sea darkens,
but here
light lingers—
My world refuses
to close its eyes.
And I am part of it—
watching the whales
slip slowly into night
without ever leaving.

The world is full of poetry.
The air is living with its spirit;
and the waves dance
to the music of its melodies,
and sparkle in its brightness.

Looks like the sun-brightened reflection could light a match in the right apartment! Linda in Kansas
