The Shell Maiden
I come from the rain of sky and sea, caught
on the web of a shoreline daisy, braced low
and spinning in carnival delight with the
kiss of Pacifica's mist.
I come from the company of driftwood and seashells, bleached white as a wedding train waiting to be worn.
The waves roll like a wedding march
announcing the union of land and deep blue dreams.
They bring a dowry of tangled vines and sand dollar spines,
and my heart says YES to this sailors treasure.
I come from the flutter of dry seaweed,
no longer rich with Oceana's brine, and yet
adorning the beach with seafoam flare,
like rice and petals clinging to the foot of a runaway bride.
Bring me the delicacies of your wedding feast, snapped up in the yellow of a jealous lover's bill, for I am treading softly here on honeymoon beds of ancient sand,
inscribing moon colored vows
on the framework
of whales.

"Oh my God.."
That was what crossed my mind when I saw this. All of those pastel colors are simply astounding. Everything blends so well together. And the detail.. there's nothing I can say to explain my thoughts on that.
There is absolutely no doubt that you deserved the DD. This is probably one of the best artworks I've seen on here in a loooong time. Great job.
