Elephants

I sat still as the sun glared at me with wickedness. And so suddenly I was unsure of why and what reasons led me to this moment, this feeling, this not knowing of how it all plays so randomly before me. He walked across, I noticed but only enough to stare, not enough to wonder or care. Slightly the sun moved west and I glared directly back, deep sigh to release all which drained my mind. I sat alone, gown of bright red, describing only hopeful thoughts in my silent head. And then he sat from a short distance, the one I glared so quickly upon. The champagne and peach, bubbled movement within, charm led me to walk slowly, politely towards this stranger. He wore blue, dull but enlightening to the eye like the grey blue brick walls along his side. I joined him with good intention and found myself delighted by pureness, like that of deep elephant eyes. The wind blew, swaying my hair to lift my face and gaze towards his curiosity. Soft into a summer night a peaceful energy lit the city lights, like a strong wind into my life. Then and there the world fell upon our warm palms and we owned the sky.
