Wandering Shadow

I passed by a church today

 

I wanted to pray to forget my fears,

 

But it was locked.

 

 

I fed the pigeons in a square

 

They were strutting at my feet,

 

But they flew into the sky.

 

 

I saw the barren mountains

 

Which look magnificent during the summer,

 

But it’s winter now.

 

 

I roamed through the past in an old town

 

Among the stone paved streets and buildings,

 

But they were crumbling.

 

 

I felt the warmth of someone

 

Holding me in his arms forever,

 

But it was a dream.

 

 

I danced at night among ghastly trees

 

And only the falling snow reminded me

 

I was alive once.
