Waltz in Amber & Blue

Amber light dances across rusty rooftops.
Flirting with the darkness; the whole morning stops.
Taking a moment’s comfort in the silence,
Glowing beams swell to swallow the blackness.
 
Seeds of daylight thoughts dawn and deepen
Performing waltz around my mind.
Keeping rhythm in threes; progress steepens.
Carefully averting reason, or roots,
or tales intertwined.
 
Twirling by oceans unexplored, there’s pause.
Painted toe dips into pale water blue.  
Depth undisclosed, bravery paddles to the middle.  
Sun-dried skin will reveal the truth,
a burgeoning nostalgia niggles.
