The most lucid dreams breed beneath a starry sky

The beauty contained within; thoughts from an authorless heart

A downpour of tears amidst a snow ridden eve

The ghastly silence I bear; so powerful is its presence

A day dressed in fog spills to a night draped in silence

My cries pierce an embalmed winter landscape;

Frost covered plains

Unforgiving in its nature, unforgiving in its ethereal treasure

Alone

Drawn like a bee to a honey drenched breeze,

My eyes attach to the wandering moon

The path that it traces I feel compelled to follow

Slowly into my view this vision appears; such soft steps

Gazing at what shall be my infatuation

My once shadowed desire

Tragedy shall be overcome by sunrise...

I felt it in unknown arms

Embraced by love alone, closed eyes

Connected by the perplexity of fate,

A mystery a heart cannot comprehend

I cannot deny; daydreams bring me closer

The voice alone caresses my soul; my freshly acquired smile

A lonely one's bereavement

Untouched feelings deep within, released

Never have I known such joy, such bliss

A heart without malice, without impurity

How fortunate am I? How fortunate are we?

Seemingly the only one I've known

Who can conquer my loneliness

That can crush my solitude like I wish it be

For it has remained in my shadow

For as long as I cast my own

Entirely too much for a caring heart to endure

Even if just one breath is spent in utter seclusion,

It is a breath you shall never forget
