Among the rocks silence sleeps
Sleeps for years and years;
Solitude only speaks to ether
The sky stares at far forever.
Seen and seeing, then and now
It speaks to none and none;
Neither the past nor today
Solitude yearns with no dismay.
Neither a girl nor a boy
Not a machine not a toy
Neither welcome not a ploy
Solitude pure, but not a decoy.
Flapping wings solitude flies
Pages turned but nothing read
Head is not, not also tail
But it’s known, it’s a gel.
Sitting with solitude at blue bay
With red Sun, grey painted sky
Time flaps wings for years to fly
With full of joy and bag full cry.
Years in hundreds walk and walk
Solitude follows with heavy neck;
Among the rocks silence sleeps
Years groom and solitude grips.
