Amber Pearls

Amber Pearls flowing
cascading fans
Fine, furious
in a frenzy
of ivory
finesse

Flying, fluttering
delicate butterflies
dangling
in poised agility
red, blue, orange
prismatic fragments
In a parody
of life

Ribbons of pearls
pure thrust
of dazzling water
Descending
dreamy, lustrous
balls of pure
intent

Down, down
among the
green velvet
moss
dark granite
Silvery splashes
of pearls

Butterflies
red, blue, orange
Poised
And pearls, pure
scattered
in the green
