POEM

Silvery Sea

An Orange tropical Sun
Beaming down a Limelight
Silvery White, the Light,
Not  Orange, on the Ocean.
Mind mesmerised ; None of VIBGYOR.
What ought to be
Is NOT that which is the Case.
Reunion oceanic face
Poses a Conundrum.
Am I to believe what is perceived
By the eyes ? Pure Colour
Of Light is White : A conclusion
That presses in upon me in the passing
Moment. Seeing and Believing, disjoint as it is
