Dusk at Laguna
water
limpid
tint by a light cyan
caresses the golden sand
tickles the tender foot of a toddler
knocks down the barricades and
washes over the flimsy castle
sky
vast as the sea below
its hue of lilac complimented by
the fierce amber gleam of the setting sun
fulgent as it hides behind the horizon
and the subtle ivory tinge of a few roving clouds drifting without destination
seashells
strewed unevenly across the shoreline
that stranded a few foams left by the receding wave and tangled in between the seagrass
its dainty shell pirouettes inwards into the twirls of a fresh-out of oven croissant
at the corner bakery
kissed by the last rays of light
its iridescent fade of turquoise shimmers in the distance...
