PRISONER OF TIME 2 © 2008

Empty space,

Where silence echoes endlessly,

Concentrated pain,

Like a weight that cannot be seen.

Like a stone at the river's bottom,

Immovable, submerged in the current,

It carries the chill of a dark emptiness,

That the water neither carries away nor makes absent.

It is a presence that does not dissolve,

A memory that time does not erase,

At the bottom of the heart, it churns,

Like a mystery that is forever questioned.

But even the stone, hidden at the bottom,

Holds within it a story, a secret,

And in the continuous flow of life,

Pain, with time, loses its fear.
