"Beautiful Sofia"©
Acrylic 20x16 in
Hey there, pretty girl,
you're such a lovely sight,
with sparkling eyes,
and luscious lips,
and hair that cascades down.
Beautiful Sofia,
to you the Gods were kind.
There's a light that shines upon you,
when you walk into a room,
with your sunny disposition,
you're a beauty in full bloom.
 

Oh, windswept dunes,
with sand so deep,
what lies ahead,
before we sleep?
Our beautiful sandcastles,
will slowly drift away,
nothing but our memories.
really seem to stay.
I lay on sandy ground,
fragments of memories in my hands,
while hours slip away,
like grains of blowing sand.
I release you grains of sand,
with my hollow hand,
to magical whirling winds,
blowing circles in the air.
Voices and sighs whisper,
"Was it really true?"
Or a beautiful mirage,
of a dream that I once knew.
I'm a float, on a magic carpet,
drifting silently through space,
while sands of time go sifting down,
leaving memories on the ground.
