Winds of Fate

Oh cruel

Bitter winds of fate

You played your wicked part

His absence

An endless ache

Like an arrow

Lodged within my heart

In this slowly drifting

Unquiet night

I have lost my place

And time is an illusion

Of voids and sleeplessness

Searching for dreams

That recall his precious face

In my pain

I have lost the colours

And the light

I am floating here alone

On these dark waves of sorrow

Spreading my sails

On the rising winds

Into eternal flight
