The door is locked forever that was open wide to joy and mocks the hollow silence with the memory of your voice,The wound becomes the portal where the healing light comes in and crowns the suffering spirit with the diadem of grace.

There is a pain that leaves no outward scar and darkness settles on the weary brow,Yet through the darkness shines a patient ray and finds its dwelling in eternal day.
My cries are swallowed by the vast indifference of the sky while lonely vigils lengthen through the terror of the night,The heavy stone of agony will wear away in time and opens wide the gates of mercy to the bruised and poor.
A solitary candle flickers in the drafty room and mourns the brief mortality of all beloved things,The memory of the departed remains a holy shrine and brings the deep tranquility that worldly tumult flees.
When friends depart and youthful days are gone a quiet witness of the vanished past,Sorrow is but the shadow cast by love and bids the weary spirit rest in hope.

No messenger arrives to bring relief to this despair and leaves the solitary heart to bear its grief alone,Through tears the eyes behold a world purified of pride and leads the weary wanderer toward the haven of his rest.
