There is a sandstorm
Blowing
Slowly burying you aliveYou close your eyes
Cover your ears
Tell yourself
You don't feelBut
It does not
Change the fact
That
There is a sandstorm
Blowing
Slowly burying you alive
She was cold. She was lost.The girl walked through the grey rain the grey clouds had brought. The grey walls of the grey buildings turned into an even darker grey than the grey pavement that surrounded themThis girl walked through the grey world alone.Then she noticed the man. He wore dirty grey rags, and leaned, shivering, on the grey pole, drenched in the grey rain. Without any instruction from her mind her body moved towards him. Her hand stuck her red umbrella out.
