The words…!

“When the words fail

To hold us dear

In those frightful nights

And leave us behind

Stranded with solitude

We still cry for it,

Look for it in the blackness

Pick its bits and pieces

Scattered around

As if the stars

And attempt to rhythm a moon out of them

A moon

Too dark to lighten up

And fill the void

Of a forlorn night

Haunted

of its own shadows

blinded

Of its own agony

overwhelmed

Of its own volitions…”
