Maria Manobianco
Soft-brushed brushed
cerulean sky
gulls gliding over water’s edge
shadowless mist
greeting my sight.
An unusual autumn day
filtered sun brightens the boardwalk.
Liquid ground sinks under my feet
rhythmic waves tempt my body.
If I could soar
I would float
on the diffused light
on Monet’s Water Lilies.
October, and already my heart
hungers for the fruits of spring
the color of flowers
the song of the birds.
I deposit this reprieve
in my memory
to withdraw
for the coldest days.
