When The Darkness Falls
...It’s colder now and seems somehow
more empty than before.
I wish I’d known the future then,

Their song, a pastoral symphony,
But brace for stormy winds and wild March skies,

As it oozes on roofs, on a cold starry night.

As I observe kilns and ovens high,
Their smoke rising up to the clouds,
In a heated chamber, pollution enshrouds
The furnace roars with fiery heat.

Horizon as still night enshrouds.
The busy city starts to sleep
As clouds still continues to weep.

Passengers restlessly ...
