A SILENT WALK IN THE WOODS

When the night awakens and the day closes
  You shower your smile upon a bucketful of roses;
When I watch you beneath the naked sun
   For you don’t know those stars, that ignominiously shun.

When I met you today:
   With your face dropped as an autumn leaf;
With hatred as guardian, smile, an orphan
    With fear in eyes, and the love you despise.

You stopped walking and stared at the sky
    For dreams those days, was really that high;
Then you looked down upon the ground
    Defeat! Hatred! Were the only known sounds?

This is life! Dear! Face it with a smile
    And I promise you won’t pause for a while;
There are times when things are really shocking
    Listen to me, don’t stop…. keep walking.
