Pyramids of silver ( for Poetry Potluck)
slow evolution
of muscular peaks
earth meets the sky
and butterflies dance
in a forgotten valley
a landscape of dreams
so majestic and tall
hiding secrets
in untamed glory
of you and I
we walked the shore
my shadow and I
untrammelled beauty
white crescent of beach
crashing waves thunder
in a pyramid of silver
her carpet of blue
lonely desolation
in majestic thoughts
of you and I

Shimmering on the water, surface to see
The dance is mesmerizing in front of me
From waterfalls to lagoons and bays
The flow of this direction is always one way
To sit below in stillness and ease
Finally the motion of silver has come with peace
enjoy my Dearest Buttercup(+)
