   Envelope stuck with tears
   Colored with my cries
  If only you see light in all eyes

   Inequality with a word
   ecstasy unveils no sound
   You hide behind the dead grass
   Pretending to speak aloud

   A sound from beneath
   It breaks free above
  Branches reaching towards you
   "I'll tell you my story of love"

  Monotone and fathomless
  Told thousands of times
  "I follow only the moonless path. It will lead to the best end."

  Bellowed laugh
  Shivers of ice
  "The path of the wise is not there. For your path's end will never satisfy your endless emptiness."

  Compass placed on the ground
  "Show me the path of the wise."
   "The compass can not direct you dear. You yourself must carve a path."
  A tunnel of nothing
  Nothing but a shadow of you
  "The useless tunnel cannot take me anywhere. It is not trekked by the wise."

  The grass the came to its brown color
   The branches pulled back into the earth
  You were carried along with it
  Bottomless then breathless
  "For you most treat the tunnel as you treat the moonless path. The outer appearance is not all that should be blinded."
