When the leaves sway in the wind,
The trees laden with moisture,
The soil with a pleasant smell,
The drops of water,
A reflection of you.
As the sparkles of rain,
Drop the sky to the earth,
The sky erupts to a silent lightning,
The sound of a thundering thunder.
A wish to go,
A wish to leave
Like the tears of a man,
Hidden but true.
The azure remains only blue.
In the times of hardship,
When the sun stakes your work,
When the rains see your ships,
When the clouds applaud, applaud thy self,
Shadows are formed, in the lurk.
They eat away the joy of love.
Standing alone in this path.
No one understands the pain you do.
The sweat, trickles from the rain,
As if some man just suffered some pain.
In the light of the sun,
You shine.
In the darkness of the moon,
You cry.
The ink you wrote, flows,
The ink you wrote, flows,
Through the very papers that’ll now
Encompass a failure.
The platitudes aren’t what I require,
From the gods, who rest above the sky,
I seek the truth.
Fate is lying,
Hard work is in vain.
I just feel sheer pain.
For in the times of the hours,
I seek myself, crying for bars.
