Heaps of WretchednessNumbness prevails over me,
Masking me… sending me pangs of suppression
Deadness tears its way inside of me,

Crazily dance along with the bumblebees;
Snatch the heavenly rhythm of singing...

Your Wings Shall Not Be ClippedWithin this bleakest loss of day
I reach for you and find you gone
without a soothing word to say
