LISTEN - ALEXIS KARPOUZOS

alexis karpouzos



Listen,
if stars are still lit it means there is someone who needs them.
It means someone wants to love,
Why then do we feel so much pain and heaviness of heart?
are we waiting for something, regretting anything?
To whom I can strech out my hand in the somber desert?
Who will accompany me on the empty night?
Who will give me a fiery day?
Who will bring back the sea that left?
No hope here. Torment is certain.
Without sacredness in the emptiness of this world of ours,
the heart of man fades like a flower.  
Suddenly, the shuddering of the heavens penetrating my soul,
Oh never let the parting sun, no star is ever lost we once have seen, the long rains will continue to fall.

    wonderful imagery, admittedly a little bleak in tone
    but I can't accuse you of any false lines, for I have witnessed
    those happening's, in my life
    just maybe, chose to glean
    a little more hopeful light, from it all
    than you did... maybe, lol
    thanks for sharing, good read
