Today’s word is “paradisiacal” ... par-uh-di-sahy-uh-kuhl ... of, like, or befitting paradise. (Dictionary.com)
Framed
Waves lap quietly ...
sandy shores accept their affection.
The paradisiacal sky changes through
prismatic colors.
If I could, I would like to be
an apprentice sunset painter.
I would like to learn the finer points
of painting silver linings and
mixing just the right shade of orange.
I would pay close attention.
It’s difficult to paint in two dimensions.
Imagine what it would be like to paint in three,
and then add movement to the challenge.
I guess you would need many soft, gray days
just to rest up from each magnificent
setting of the sun.
