Attuned to the disharmonious process
Awake, while the earth sleeps still
Preparing for another journey to digress
Darkness has the willingness to kill
Lest the dreams speak out for freedom
Nothing alike in the thoughts of two
That’s a world waking without wisdom
Drifting apart, the souls won’t woo
Faltering language they can’t fathom
Time goes wild in an unfruitful chase
Precious feelings pay a heavy ransom
A rush to find the clues and erase
Unworthy, they ne’er again blossom
Swarthy morning looks in contempt
Hidden flame rages behind the cloud
A world falters at the fair attempt
Atone for the misdeeds of a crowd
In vain all the ties with life is slain
The twain shall wait for the rain
