ah, my darling-
the moon, so full and bright!

shining above, whispering in the wind-
my darling, the moon

tomorrow clouds may cover her-
next week, she'll wane away.

how the days seem dreary now-
no more than the day she left.

the clouds grey and foreboding-
the candles flicker, shadows dance
reminding me so painfully of that day

the water, like a glass between-
the other world, and me

here i am, in this imprisonment-
the rivers, bars of my cage

i swim-
but never can i break the surface.

what deed have i done-
to deserve such a punishment?

the universe exists everywhere
but it's hidden

in every second of silence
in every mindful moment

only there can you see the wholeness of the world

only when you step out of the city
with its noise and smoke

mother nature she is called – mother earth

yet what kind of mother is she?

letting her children hurt themselves and their brothers

letting them kill each other for entertainment, for "food"

outside the window

rain pelting the ground

high in the sky

Zeus is grumbling

inflicting his misery

upon poor mortals below

flooding their homes

once again

panic wrought their hearts
