The silica merchant

 Words, like pearls of ocean, rest 

Within me, buried beneath waves of silence;

I watch, I adore, I admire

And when it rains after eons of neutrality,

I scourge the desert for sand and sanity.


A merchant of shining silica, I live in glitter 

Nevermind the license, to be, touch or plunder;

Birds of prey, words of wisdom on the horizon 

Or simply mirages for the damned, I wonder.
