I’ve cast my thoughts to the æther,
The quintessence of silent stillness.
Waves of emotional fever,
Foundering on the shore of dullness.
Tears of eloquent loneliness,
Crystallized like diamonds, washed ashore.
Exemplifying holiness,
On black sands of time questings galore.
Stillness or dullness, quiescence supreme,
my thoughts are all like diamonds,
Pricelessly flowing expressions extreme,
Roaring defiantly like lions.
Thoughts and Ideas coalescing,
Surprise and love expressing
“Tears of eloquent loneliness”
