You streak the eyes
with pure cerulean strokes
across a poetic sky,
surreal and abstract light
are your spectacular flame,
brevity an incense easily inhaled,
as you write a collage
of piercing profound prisms,
epiphany’s kaleidoscope,
fanning the brain
with shimmers of insight’s
flashes in azure clarity.
Unto you artistry and talent
we say a thank you
for all the masterpieces
that you have shared
in such stunning indigo indentations
on the reader’s mind.
May your birthday bring nothing,
but many bountiful blessings,
happiness dipped in turquoise
hues of tranquility,
And may joy be your sapphire,
bedazzling as the muse’s gem,
which your quill writes its illumination
upon the canvas of our minds.
