In Still Time

In the dark night time stops to flow, 
broken hands of quiet clock show 
how desolate pathos could be 
in wasteland of still life lonely. 
Sunrise time the clock maker knows. 

Clumped clouds gleam in astral halo, 
moondusts flush ground in silver glow. 
The star of hope shines remotely 
in the dark night. 

Lost dream descends on land fallow, 
bare trees suck it in wood hollow,
wait for the sunrise, crave to see 
clouds melt, rains rinse green canopy. 
In still time hides the bright morrow 
in the dark night.
