Allison Kinzy Poet Lyric

Coloring the Sand

i find myself lost in this sea
of the colors i see
in these waters.
the sands of time dance silently
underneath the rippling surface,
light-refracting crystals bounce beams,
as slowly i sift through the gold dust
to find my one bit of dirt.
i spit out these stones,
create hoops colliding with hoops
for all you fish
to jump through.
my water breaks and new life
is born, slithering to the banks
of the river of the tears
i once shed
in the old life’s passing.
the days are numbered
now as the tide draws out,
the drought is refreshed,
and the colors become murky,
light bounces no more.
soon my broken water is
out of existence, gold dust
disappearing so that my
one bit of dirt
is not necessary, extraordinary
one bit
anymore.
