A Flower Pointing Down

There is a candle that lights 

the ceiling and the floor. 

There are eyes 

that do not see. 


There is a voice that speaks 

but is not heard. 

There are one million lies 

and one million possibilities. 


There is a man 

who has no one 

and a man who needs no one. 

There is a man who has someone 

and shouldn't. 


There are waterfalls 

that never end, 

and empty souls that want to, 

and immortals who are dying 

who couldn't. 


There is a place where songs 

need no voices, 

and places where music 

is never uttered. 


There is a place where lies 

set freedom for those 

who do not fear the saints, 

and wanderers always vanish 

when they fall asleep. 


Where silence meets 

with sweet victory 

and notorious troubles are tested, 

and make for a remorseful nightfall 

and a flower that points down.
