Secret Patterns

Upon the ivory octave,
                three vibrant marks:
                sapphire, plum, rose
                coded by the artist
                who painted tone and timbre
                embellishing a secret.

Below the ochre bluff,
               sagebrush rim the glade
               wherein wild apple
               encapsulates a tartness
               crisp beyond dimension
               ornamenting brightly.

The density of reeds
               also spells a pattern
               planted by the artist
               bending upon air
               shadowing a fabric
               of infinite delight.

Mounted onto rocks above,
               embroidered shoes for bowling
               stitched in threads of blossom
               indicating orchard, where
               fruit drenched tongue of mute.
