Found
He had glaring cold blue eyes
That I knew I was going to miss
Some blues are clear and so alive
But none compare to his
I could not read his like a book
I was blocked off by a wall
Maybe it was my heart he took
I could not read him at all
I tried to find things I could look to
When he was not around
I searched and searched and for so long
Those colors were unfound
I have stared out at the ocean
From both under and above
Those swirling shades of denims, jades
Were not the blue I loved
I silenced all my hopes again
And locked them in my closet
I watched, entranced, as water ran
From every rusty faucet
And the ocean I returned to
Hoping colors changed with days
Greener hues and darker blues
No, it all felt like it was grey
Then I finally looked up from the sea
Directly to the sky
Recognition dawned on me
I found my heaven for the first time
Feathered all across the blue
Were cotton candy clouds
I took so long to look and look
But his eyes have now been found
