Dawn of the Sea of Flowers

She is born where the last sigh of dusk melts into salt and petal-light, half woman, half midsummer noon, half ship finding harbor in a dream. One eye drinks the wide cerulean silence, the other is a living sunflower noon , blazing, unapologetic, holding the sun hostage inside her gaze. Roses climb the soft ruin of her cheekbones like lovers who refuse to leave, daisies tremble at the corners of her mouth as though her next word could be forgiveness or thunder. The sea has come to claim her hair, woven it through with foam and far horizons, three white sails lean into her breathing , tiny prayers that somewhere still exists a shore worth returning to. She is the brief season when winter forgets itself, when the ocean remembers it once loved color, when every flower decides at once to bloom inside the same impossible face. Aurora Maris Flora , she does not choose between land and sea, between silence and song, between being quietly human and becoming the season the world will spend centuries trying to describe.
