Walking down the long dark street?
The shy moon looming over
behind scattered gray shadows
watching over the world?
Over us poor souls
lost in the cold universe

my ragged breath
stained the icy air
with sallow Swirling ghosts
dissolving into nothingness

my eyes suddenly fell?
On two beating hearts
A boy and his girl
Walking slowly before me
Holding hands
Smiling those hopeful smiles
Looking into each others eyes
The kind of look that can say
What a tongue can never do

They seemed gleaming
Tearing all gathering darkness
Warmth filled me
All gloom vanished
The power of innocent love
Drove the coldness out

I passed them swiftly
The lump in my throat growing
Solitude mounting
With every step away
A watery something slid
Down my face
And fell to the long dark street
With the tiniest splash
No one could hear
