As I stare I spot,
Diamonds glistening in the sun.
I see a smooth, chocolate coating,
Full of promises.
I see stars in the night sky,
Surrounding the moon.
I see a child,
Embracing happiness.
I see a desperate town,
Flooded by the stinging drops of rain.
I see a growing fire,
Waiting for someone to extinguish it.
I see a sapling,
Outwitting the environment amongst it.
I see a flower,
Awaiting its destiny.
I shake my head
And see his eyes locked into mine.
