Psenti Nite
(24 April, 2004)

  And then the music stopped,
  While tears took its place,
  I looked around,
  With blurred eyes,
  And saw people I cherished,
  Loved,
  Gathered close,
  The final hugs,
  In a shadow of parting.

  A haze of emotion,
  With all thoughts unclear,
  One returned every moment,
  Stronger each time,
  Pleading,
  As we stood together
  In the silence,
  Trying to accept the inevitable.

  I hope the music plays again,
  Just one more time,
  That is all I ask for...
