For someone who has never seen the ocean,
You have these faraway blue, salt-of-the-earth eyes
Waves have crashed in each of your irises, you can see the Aurora here and there, but it’s more like an explosion happened;
My eyes are the color of sadness,
I tell him
They are the color of hope
Before life had disappointed me
How does life do that? he asks,
Life simply opens one door one day
and lets you think it is to throw you out in the cold
My eyes are scarred with all the times life froze off one destination or another
Where are you headed now?
I point out at the wide strip of murky land filled with tiny houses, I point out at the wind undulating the treetops. I heard oceans don’t freeze, they don’t freeze at all.
