The Sand Constellation

a star made of sand

is dropping

night has frozen

you're so sad

that you want to remain silent

in the name of everyone

but most of all

in the name of God

OR ABOUT LONELINESS

 

Or About Loneliness

Speak to me

about

love

I told her

And

the lily

Suddenly

blossomed

Leaving me

behind

and

stranded in love
