Ocean's Inferno by Heather Sturgeon

Astounding bloom of dusk
The radiant globe illuminates the abyss
Languishing at the horizon
The torch's aura shall touch the sea.

Fiery orb ignites upon the billows
Golden fingers dance across the azure surf
Aqua, turquoise and cyan swells
Melt to glistening ribbons of liquid metal.

Breathtaking aquatic flames sprawl
As the sphere set afire descends the briny deep
Copper, bronze and brass flicker
Drenched by brackish indigo drifts.

Fading brilliance of gloaming
Defusing to slumber in the high seas
Staggering breakers douse its blaze
The Sol extinguishes in salty depths.
