LAST CYCLE © 2008

This awakening in the early hours,

A thousand souls wander, unwanted flowers.

They cry out their pains, their laments,

Envying the gazes, silent torments.

They seek refuge, a hidden abode,

Where they might shield themselves from the cold's overload.

But in the shadows of the night, they find only emptiness,

Echoing their sorrows in a dark murkiness.
