once beautiful walks down

grabs my hand warmly

Silence covers the air

Softening the view

What the light

Cannot see

My mind wanders

Into the night, again

I lift the heavy beam

My back shatters in soreness

I need money for exchange of pain

While the morning dew rises

As the flowers bloom

Tears pouring down on the ground

Peaceful sounds all around

Sudden flash of light

Thunder shakes my bed

light flashes

Summer here

Crushes the ships with its jaws

Under bloody moon

Shimmer through a time

Grabbing sunlight

Work hard every day

Make ends meet in any way

Only if money grew on trees

The littered stream

Forgot itself

Like shadows on a mirror
