All in the Green Eyes of a Stranger
"Like the Sky When It’s Silver Green"
Like the sky when it’s silver green
Flashing and thundering before a storm
When the wind whistles and shrieks
Whipping the waves into new forms
When the sea ebbs and flows
Reaching and stretching onto land
A gentle green foam drags on the shore
Bubbling and bursting on the sand
Bursting like my soul
When our eyes meet
And see all of this—
Tumultuous wind, skies, and sea
I catch his glance and I'm caught off guard
By the power in his eyes
Compounding like the storm
That rumbles and quakes the skies
And suddenly I'm like the wind
Spinning and breathless
Whipped into a frenzy
In a haze, smiling senseless
I'm falling into his eyes
As I step calmly away
Swept off into this silver green sea
For that one brief moment in my day
And I can't help but look back
To whirl through the wind one last time
Before snapping back into reality
Wishing those eyes were still looking into mine
About the Creator
Lucia Beneforti
I am enamored with words in every way. I love new languages, I love music, and I love stories. Most of all, I love when people share their words with me because through them I can glimpse their hearts and souls.
