** She’s so clear **

The gently piano keys play.
The green fern leaves compliment the glossy blue piano.
The wind blows making the leaves dance.

Teenagers dance to the beat of the music.
The parents with mason jars of alcohol.
Camouflage shirts and cowboy boots.
She is standing in the background.
Hanging withe her friends talking and laughter going on nonstop.

He sees nothing but her in his eyes.
Even with a crowd of people on his left to his right.
Everything is blurry but she is so clear.

The only light is that one dim lantern
That brings out her bright blue eyes.
The view of her is more beautiful than the beach scene in the background.
