Curious eyes sparkle like the Milky Way, Clay sun, mirrors the land from where I am. Curled up too long to stretch my purple heart, Dreams unsure, in silver glitters, they swam.Arrows pointing everywhere, I just roll, Stories connecting sunspots on my cheeks.

I blink my eyes, came waves of fiery red, Rushing from my chest, my heart’s torn apart. Dragged to the vastness, broke the heavenly thread, Warrior of the sky, a fallen braveheart.Loudness skips a note, silence has disguised, Beasts of the land, running to wail instead.
