The eyes're open. A sound of deep breath.
A glance reveals a kind of mind confusion.
A tilted mast with sails - tom, shed, and fied.
Nothing can break an armour of seclusion.
The dawn's cold break pours through the heavens,
Touching so gently the waterside.
Dire doubt and exhaustion climb to your essence,
Like a fiend's tentacles from the timeless tide.
A rocky shore. A lighthouse gives no light,
It rises, dark and lonely, in the opaque haze.
Again, the brook of rage control is dried up...
...the rocks are crashed by desperate waves.
