Oceanic mixes
light and dark swirls
Twisting and spinning
Round and round it twirls
Hints of sunlight
Take up space
Taking the viewer
To another place
The side opposite of right
Places rose with ocean
Mixing, mingling with it
Creating motion
The other side
Holds hues of grass
Complementing the others
Shining through a pane of glass
A beautiful painting
I beheld
An abstract work
Where colors meld.

I challenged myself to write about a painting and not use any color names. Enjoy!
