Without Air (After)

In the wind, in the rain

In the woods

Among the trees

There runs a flood

Its stream causes hearts to beat

Over the mountains

Under the valleys deep

Its power flows strong

The forces cause lives to cease

***

When dawn breaks

When all things boldly appear new

When the tide comes

Yearnings pass to oblivion

An embrace of souls

Time crumbles

At this desolate moment

There's a shiver in the night

A longing for perfection

Erasing the past

Fears complete obliteration
