Like the deserts baron landscape Like the echo haunts the cave Like the endless road to nowhere Like the oceans drifting wave Like the well that holds no water Like the wind that strips the tree Like the winters chilling silence Like the raging storm at sea Like the cloud that steals our sunshine Like the cosmos blackest hole Like the flame that slowly dwindles Like the wandering, listless soul Like the star about to fade away Like the ships that drift apart Like the the moon the hangs above us Like the poet's frozen heart
