night
long endless night
once again dreamless
waking in silence
shadows walk my
walls
drawing the
dreams i couldn’t dream
watching what i
wouldn’t see
the seasons callout to the changes
it is autumn turn
if
i dream of colors
far to the north
i live without the change
neither hot nor cold
mark the seasons
am i a man without reason
living deep within my country’s
south
too old and sick to travel
lost to my memories
and the silence within
of my dreams
no light in the sky
only echoes of yesterday
on the wings of angels
i sigh within my years
leaving my tears
where poems can’t cry
