If no piece...

I find myself adrift, with neither rudder, nor guide.

of searing indignation,

Moonlit LongingMoonbeams dance upon my wall
Echoes of laughter, whispers of it all
Fading shadows, eerie silence deep
My heart beats lonely, in a loveless sleep

Oh, the simple Irish diner to which we did meet

It emits a feeling,
Perhaps of great rage or warmth or sadness—
