Night bring terrible memories, shadows of yesteryears, it takes my breath away in fears, anguish and hell. An ugly wolf runs after me as I slither in the mud heart beats burst my chest with pains. Please take away those forces that rumble in my midriff driving me crazy with dread. I cannot cry, I can only pray that dawn arrives with its damask cupola when stars fade away and the moon hides its face in shame. Why is the break of day so far away? I lie numb on the settee Perspiration running down my cheeks. I skate near life's edge I try to grab a lifeline, find only puffs of hot dry air. And time goes by so slowly, pain like the claws of an eagle squash my soul of its life. No, I will not cry, I will only pray. Dear God, thanks, You've given me a new day.
