Art of Eyes

The smoke that holds a voice

Of small and lifeless sounds

Sketched beyond the edge

A heart of lost and found

 

Erase your hidden face

Blurred and out of focus

And let in the toxic sky

Embrace torn and lifeless lips

 

Shaken, held and open

Pale and scorched with hope

To breathe a single time

The art of how to ‘cope’
