Analysis of Watercolours



pon canvas
magically appear here
refracted light
on ice crystals
Scarlet whispered
gold to-

blue the blues
brush strokes
virgin sky

The blue ball spins
on it's axis

In the obsidian dark
elements of earth
water wind and fire
does art o'ever day

the stars
look down
at dawn
