Shadows of Destiny

Cold hands
Stretching for sun’s warmth

Eyes for brightness 
I lurk in the shadows 

Thoughts covered in darkness

Beyond the majestic mountains of fate
I walk towards an oasis
Only to find an endless desert land
Filled with dust and crisis

I hear the music 
Glasses being filled with wine
I hear the people talk
The stupid and the wise

Hit by a storm
I fall to the ground
Waking up from a dream
Barren are the lands where I am found

I look at the sky
In hope and despair 
I wait for my doom
Longing for a bloom…
