“Meaningful words escape me
My mind wanders
And my heart is heavy
Loneliness seems now so oppressive
I used to find freedom in my misery
My mind was freed for a short time
I finally understood the quiet stillness in my heart
Then you moved
And my thoughts became thorns
Burning in my side
I wish once again to reawaken
To the sweet emptiness of dreaming
To hail once again
The painless suffering
Of my solitude
My soul grieves
For reasons still unknown to me
My heart sees into the void
Of the earth’s tumbling preoccupations
And begs God for the peace of sleep
I am lost
In the confusion of the swell
Of the turbidity of my quiet thoughts
I believed that I once understood
And was mistaken”
– Just another poet
