Who Lives Inside
As life vows to move
Of virtues time and delight
A man has nothing left to prove
But to close his dreams
For once he longed for the night
As a boy watching the stars
To find the hidden light
That glowed of faith
Faith for a desired love
To fill his heart with youth
Of cherished warmth
That promised truth
To this lost but hearty man
Who realeased his last breath
Into the cold night air
Containing frosted death
Which soothes his blood
And whistles his last hymn
The man keeps on walking
To be found sorrowed anew
