The stark reflection on the road
Lost in the stars that never shine
In steps returns the hollow sight
Unheard, to thoughts unthought of lights
Not lit beyond the mirror dark
Where dreams asleep drowned in
The soul that burns within the sigh
Of time
Which never was by random might
Alight –
To break the silence of the sky
The night recalls this life of mine.
