Nature's Masterpiece Poem by Walterrean Salley

A multicolored sky
Of orange, blue and green
Glistens upon the
Waters of the sea.

Amid waves with white foam,
The water reflects
The hues of the sky.

The waves
Spill onto the shore.

In the backdrop,
The trees are a buffer zone.


One lone, but gorgeous, tree
Grows on the shore.

Exquisite. Breathtaking.
What an awesome masterpiece
Nature has painted for the viewing.
And yet my attempt to describe
Fails to do it justice.

Nonetheless,
Time will soon wash the canvas,
As she (nature) prepares, once again,
To paint something greater
And more wonderful.
