Brisk Desert Sunset
by Toriane Agostino


Walking along
Like a turtle on land
Looking up
To see my surroundings
I observe an astounding sight
Of the endless horizon

Twinkling Sky
Swirling
Like the rain in a
Puddle that we run through
Smooth
Like the water in a
Pool before you jump in
Mixing
Like paint as an
Artist begins a masterpiece
Flowing
Like blood
Out of a cut
Dense
Like a chalk board

Colors on the
Sky canvas
Pink
As a dress of a princess
White
Like the first
Fall of snow

If you could touch the
Sky
Many things would cross
Your fingers
Smooth like glass
Polished like brass
Glittering like gold
