Pounding loudly
Soundly 
Falling fast asleep

Going back and forth
Pores raising

The sound of rain

we dance to the tune of cryptic strings;
The rhythm is different for each of us
but the grand music remains the same

Was it you who said these things
Or a voice that simmered
On the depths of the horizon?...

And never give up 
Find it in you 
Reach for the top 
Let the spirit move you 
Possess that great skill 
Go through that cryptic maze 
With a strong will...
