DEVASTATED

Darkness covers the mind
Shrouds of fear pervade the space
And I, in my life
Look around,
Devastated.

My hope cries for release
My plan is stifled by the heat
My dream buried in the sand
And when I look around
I am
Devastated.

So the wind blew them
So the song slowly died
It was a freedom tune
Slowly made inaudible by
The devastation.

Can the darkness light up?
Can the heat stop its terror?
Can I move on and see
What the darkness has long hidden?
No!
I am
Devastated.

And when the music is stirred
I will wail and mumble
Just one word
"Final!"
And will rest
Not being raised again.
