i saw rocks
standing tall, firm, and still
stained with a desert red
and faded sun marks

line gradients so perfectly adorned by purple clouds and pink skies
i sat on a rock and experienced unknown silences
i was alone in my breaths
i heard my heartbeat
along with the buzzing of insects, enjoying their open habitat
the silence was remarkable
new, undisturbed, untainted

subtle gradients of light blue, grey, and red
so flawless on an evening drive
nothing but serene minutes spent on a road alone
cruising with no map
no real destination
