sand

empty, devoid, uncaring

sand

and blue eyes

a blur of heart, a flash of red

his hair like the sunset on the horizon, eyes like the sky just above

lost in desolation, unknown to those who would look

and yet, i fear that i do not care, i can not

when that piercing blue strikes my soul,

i feel a resonance that i could not breath without

open arms and waiting smiles

i don't know that i would object to such a fate

for how can i be lost but in those crystal blue eyes
