Strange Time

Unclaimed dreams, maybe, someone abandoned them

When the Earth was dimly visible, but the Universe transforming

There is a clamour for darkness from lethargic homes

Unawakened, uninterested, during a period of uninspiring reality

There is less sparkle in the eyes; it has become a lonely dreams

Is there anyone who would like to fidget with stranger realities

Outside they float around like an apparition trying to tell

Some secrets have to be revealed at this solemn hour

Who can dare ask the Universe for some clues

These are times when this reality has forgotten sincere prayers

Withdrawn curiosity, untrusted time, and uncomfortable feelings
