And here comes the dusk uninvited to the burning ground
Breaching hesitations covered with the red tears
Ashes in the wind, trying to find a home in this dark abyss
All that smoke can be – to wander in its rusty nomadic home
Sparks from the fumes where the smoky flames were kindled
All that fire could torch was the form of expression
The forbidden bushes where denial rules and writhes
As a light feather the soul floats wandering paralyzed
Leaving transparent shadows of mysterious reality
The winds have covered a thousand cries beneath
A roaring widow, a hissing mother of a single child
Grappling with the wounds, assuming the being will survive
Look deep within the hollow immortal, give a reason to exist
