time caught in silent moments,
each heartbeat a broken echo,
each breath a quiet, losing fight.

Everything will be calm down
Surprising wind will come from the East
Even if I spell wrongly,

A stormy day arrives at your bright face,
The sunny rays are nowhere in my sight,
A gust of silent air consumes the space.
