Hollow As the Sky is Vast

"Hollow As the Sky is Vast"

A poem I wrote about my sister when we were in high school.

“Hollow As the Sky is Vast”

By

K. R. King

Across the farther shore,

Eyes as sapphire as the sea.

She loves the world with a hollow heart,

Hands outstretched toward secrecy.

Truth is the ultimate illusion.

She sees nothing as real.

All is a mosaic, a simple derision.

Let the glass fall away.

With a heart as hollow as the sky is vast,

She drifts through eternity—

Cold and distant as the farther shore.
