Glimmer
​
the sky swam with stars
glowing and fading
twisting
​
i had a million questions
and asked
none.
​
twenty years from now,
will i remember this walk
and those stars
​
when you are fading
like the last wisps of blue on the horizon?
or is it destined to become dust
in the corners of my mind
​
lofting on the breezes of my thoughts
rushing by
​
dare i hope
it catches the sun
and glimmers?
​
like the light
of stars

The world is always needing more peace love and creativity this is my goal. I live in a North Shore community. My art medium is acrylic paints. Most of my inspiration is from the ocean, the sand, the rocks, the atmosphere, the horizon.
