Why do we suffer
What catches us unaware
Changes our course
For better or for worse
We never know from its source
But when the catastrophe begins
We hear our heart sing
A violent, shocking song
One misery raises its head after another
Ugly and grotesque
Swallowing everything that comes along
Hollowing passions and desires
Wishes trapped in a mesh of wires
Caged body
Heart full of pain
Like a flower, never blooming
Not even in rain
Shrinking heart
Drying and aching
Like leaves in the storm
Shivering and shaking
How long shall we wait
Wait for the golden dawn
Golden hour
How long shall we wait
Wait for the blissful shower
Is it forever…
