Stark and so bleak, just sand
sand as far as you can see

Wicked winds churning up

The endgame 

And the cemetery was
nowhere to be found

If I knew Picasso,
I’d say Pablo come and see.
Bring your canvass here,
And capture this beauty.

The things he’s thinking of.

In the dark of night,
Standing on the mountain edges
Writing by their light.

Fall with eagle wings of colour
Soared the starry skies,
Called...

Love stories never written
Passion never experienced
Lives never touched
Hearts never caressed
