Notes About The Poem

- Everything Has An End -

The journey to the place where peace lives in beautiful music
Alone in my own shadow, no shining stars
The despair is overwhelming I'm filled with melancholy
Leaving me breathless, I pray a silent prayer
Falling into nothing, paralyzed by losing control
But still peaceful in a glimpse of this eternal sleep

There's no way back, my history has an end
The sound of a silding stream, thirsty
Life is too short, my eyes flood with a tear
Receive my trembling soul, my sins are many
Can I know if I have been able to forgive,
or if I have been forgiven ?
