Day 4 NaPoWriMo - Wedding gift

I followed the day four prompt on the NaPoWriMo.net for this poem.

Write a poem about a painting in your home or common public spaces. I have a painting that I've carried with me since Ashish and I were married in 2013. It has travelled with us from Louisiana to Portland, OR. From Portland to Connecticut, and then back. It was given to us by a family friend who is an artist, Pam Soileau. More of her art can be found on her Instagram profile:

Wedding gift

sun in blue sky

desperate for eyes

to witness it

eclipse the flood.

All these years,

I am waiting

for the rain

to quench the sky.

I remember

I chose this,

this wide ocean,

this widest mirror

eclipsed by sun

rising in the west.
