The Engulfing Silence

In the engulfing silence, I can only close my eyes and hug myself The agony of existence weighs heavily on my soul So much that living feels like a burden! But then, stars twinkle and dance Reminding me that life has an aim Even if one so subtle, and, That I should bother not about its pains, For life acts as such as she is pained herself And can only pour upon us Her miserable gloom! Why, stars twinkle and bid the moon to sing Of the mysticism that surrounds us all, Mortal beings having been gifted with an elevated consciousness And I, can only open my eyes To let my tears flows Tears of freedom, tears of bondage Tears of joy, tears of misery Tears of submission, tears of rebellion Tears of love, tears of resentment Tears of forgiveness, tears of blame! Pray, in the engulfing silence of the night Set free, I can only succumb to the stars' show And to the moon's music As they push me to drown into nocturnal reveries!
