The Calmness

I shout in the woods

And the night hears me

Nobody responds

Even an owl's hoot or a wolf's howl

is inaudible.



Would you believe?

Not a single star is in the sky

Only big burlu clouds

Seemingly monsters.



I can't contain my loneliness anymore

I beat my fists against a tree

The, I run wildly while crying

Shouting and cursing this darned life.



I do not see the cliff

Slipping, tumbling, falling.

Wounded, drenchin in my blood

I close my eyes and darkness embraces me.
