Sea Hues

In February, 2006, Alex wandered the beach at Malibu, stared at the waves crashing at her feet, and came up with this observation.

Sea Hues

There is so much
color and form
here,
everywhere I look!

Dark green kelp
and eel grass
get cycled within
the other-greenly green
of a wave’s last curl.

Blue-ness is followed
by more and deeper
blue-ness
of oncoming tides.

The vibrancy is mirrored
in a clear,
brisk air
that smells like
these colors.
Just think of it.
Ahhhhh
