((This is an Ekphrasis based on the painting below))
Brightly colored swirls
Of candy fashioned glass
Are dancing in the boundaries
Of a ship floating in black.
The black creates an ocean;
A sea within a sky,
A starless night of outer space,
No moon will it pass by.
Life explodes within its walls,
A celebration stretching out.
Its tendrils grasping at the light
And glistening throughout.
The boat of many colors
Glides through eternal night.
Whimsy captivating with
red, yellow, blue and white
"Ikebana Boat" by Chihuly
