Collecting Colors

Wrapping my skin

In colors I am bathed in

Awash with swaths & swirls

Inked of Nature, our world

Collecting seastones

In humble hands, atones

Smooth as painted silk

After sand-scrub, milked

Colors collected in spheres

Influence of moods, appears

Mystery welcomes in

Hues of my intensity within

Indwelling landscapes

Greet my outer escapes

Collecting my thoughts

The seacolors brought

Held pressing in palms

Answers, reflecting new calm

Serenity found in collecting

Or colored by expressing?

Blessed be
