Shimmering reflections  part 1

The sea is a pallet of colors. The mystical shimmers of sunshine which interludes with the deep spectacular ocean.  All the shades that the ocean possesses are somewhat a miracle as is all things created. The shades of green, blue, purple are only the influence of color that reflect from the see that I see. The tint of green that runs through the sea vary from the ever so dazzling jewel of emerald - that remains in my dreams around my left fourth finger, to the delicious color of the rich olive that leaves your mouth watering by glancing at the canvas of its beauty. If I look carefully, I will notice how blue the waves are in the distance. As blue as the stunning and sophisticated sapphire that dressed my neck.  The shade of serenity is casually amidst this aquatic bath. I will glance out to the distance and see a sparkle on a wave, just like the shiniest amethyst. A breathtaking view. Whatever have I done in my lifetime to have been worthy of such a blessed feast to my eyes. To another, this would indicate an illusion that my eyes were the green of the appetizing olives that lay on the plate at the family dinner.
